Why I’ve waited so long to put this one up I don’t know. The Freight Station sits just on the side of Rt. 166, diagonally across from Huddy Park. It looks like a rail car and is quite weathered now. The middle part of the roof is sinking...
This is another place in the Pines we accidentally stumbled upon. Buckingham was founded by John Buckingham around 1880. It was a station along the now defunct railroad. There was also a mill here. The town has a sad story tied with it. The town’s demise was supposed...
Dawe spotted this one while looking for the Clark’s Landing graves. Right on the side of a bridge is a small trail with a gate that leads to 3 cabins, all of which are boarded up. It doesn’t look like they’ve been used in quite a while. There...
I had read about 2 very old and virtually unknown graves being hidden somewhere along the Mullica. The graves, found at Clark’s Landing, are those of Thomas Clark (1686-1752) and his wife Ruth (?-1749). These are well-hidden and difficult to get to. You need to cross a small...
Yet another ghost town in the pines. The only remains I found were of a single foundation….the deepest I’ve come across yet. I’ve been told that this was the tavern, but I then found out this was the stables and not the tavern. The air was easily a...
Along Rt. 30 you can find the Fireside Steakhouse, which is now closed and for sale. Behind the building is an odd little village….almost looked like a Midgetville. The small town is called Fireside Village, and it has just about everything: its own chapel, a general store, a...
I heard about this spot a few times but didn’t get around to it until I found out a geocache is hidden near it. Charles Wills lived for only 4 months (April-July 1839), yet his name would be remembered much longer than anyone else buried in this cemetery....
Here’s another road that gets more attention than it deserves due to its name. While I will agree Mt. Misery is a cool road to drive down at night, there really isn’t anything noteworthy on it. It has a Methodist retreat center on its Rt. 70 end, as...
