November Meeting: Lunch, Business, and Our Program on MARL!
This months' program at the Gibson House will be
"Marl - The Miracle Fertilizer that Gave Marlton its Name,” presented by Jim Alexander, a writer and historical researcher whose projects have included local railroads, Nike Missile bases, and solid waste management. Currently, his extensive research into marl, its history, the railroads that hauled it, and its use, is pending publication by Stockton University’s South Jersey Culture & History Center. Marlton was in the center of New Jersey’s marl belt. Jim will bring examples of Marl and will discuss how it was mined, transported, and used by farmers, mostly in the late 1800s, as well as its current use.
