Pemberton, NJ

Before we actually came to Pemberton, we stopped at the Friends Meeting House.  It was built in 1775.

A very interesting tree on the grounds of the meeting house.  I see a lion's head.  You?

The cemetery on the grounds.  Most of the dates on the tombstones were unreadable.

Karen turned me loose in Pemberton.  She had choir practice and seeing I don't sing, I walked. This is the Pemberton Baptist Church "organised" in 1764 and erected in 1861.  This is Karen's church.

Yup, it is the front door.

As I wandered around to the side of the church, I came across this statue.

No, it is not Fall.  The way the sun was shining through the leaves, it really brought out the red.  I think it is some kind of a Maple but not sure.

Looks like they found a new use for the fire department.

I need help on this church too.  Had an interesting grave yard and a great salute to those who sacrificed.
