Photo Gallery > Burlington County Myth Mysteries and Lore

Burlington County, New Jersey, is a sleepy collection of bedroom communities snuggled innocently by the big city. Just move along. Nothing to see here, right? Guess again, and then come to the next free Shipman Mansion Foundation program, BURLINGTON COUNTY MYSTERIES, on May 30 at 221 Edgewater Avenue, Edgewater Park. Myth, mysteries and lore – from the well known “Jersey Devil” to less familiar tales – are tucked under the deep cover of the county’s 40 municipalities. Spooky stuff, like witches and a portal to another dimension will be revealed by Marisa Bozarth, the county’s Museum Curator, History, who has collected her trove on the job over the past 15 years. Ms. Bozarth’s talk, beginning at the Shipman Mansion at 7 p.m., is her latest in a series that has included such topics as the Lindberg Kidnapping and the Boston Strangler.
