On Monday we took a great walking tour of our town. We learned many interesting facts about the town we live in.
Did you know:
We had a toll house. It is at the end of Chestnut Street. The toll collector would collect money from rafts and boats so they could continue through on the waterways.
Lumberton had 3 grocery stores at one time. After their business was closed on of them turned into a post office at the corner of Landing Street.
Lumberton had a carriage service on Main Street. The coach service took people to Mt. Holly and Medford.
In 1874 Lumberton had a covered bridge. It had accidents on it almost daily.
Did you know Lumberton also had an amusement park? It was in the Eayerstown Picnic area. It was located between Landing and Eayerstown Road down by the creek. It even had a Ferris wheel.
At the present day gazebo at the corner of Main Street housed a rather large shoe factory. It made shoes for Buster Brown and sold them at JC Penny's.
