Abandoned Cabins on the Mullica

  • 02/20/2005

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...

Clark’s Landing Graves

  • 02/20/2005

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...

Decent amount to see here….Weymouth was another bog iron furnace in the Pines. It provided ammo and bombs for the soldiers of the War of 1812. Many buildings once surrounded the furnace, including a church, workers’ homes, and a sawmill. It’s now a popular place to set out...

Lucy the Elephant

  • 04/20/2004

Most people look at you funny if you tell them there’s a 6 story elephant near Atlantic City. Lucy was built in 1881 to attract people to Margate (South A.C. at the time) and to hopefully buy property there. Over the years, she’s been a real estate office,...

Mays Landing Brick Company

  • 02/16/2003

I noticed these old-looking tall things sticking out of the woods on one of our trips down to Seabreeze. So I jumped out of the car and walked through the woods, expecting that there would just be these 2 towery things to take pics of. How wrong I...

Bethlehem Loading Company

  • 02/16/2003

Originally visited 2/03 Reshot photos 3/05 Bethlehem was quite active during World War I; different types of shells were produced here. Many ruins still remain, and you are free to walk among them as long as you take nothing. There are signs among the ruins giving information about...
