🕰️ : 13 years ago, the Jersey Shore was rocked by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that rattled the region. Experts believe that approximately one-third of the U.S. population felt the tremors. The quake, centered in Virginia's Piedmont region, struck at 1:51 p.m., triggering a frenzy on social media and jamming cell phone lines. This was New Jersey's, biggest recorded earthquake. The first ever recorded earthquake was in 1783. 🌊🌍📜
What's shaking? Enjoy your day & be safe.

We have an exciting new video to share with you about the history of the Benjamin Cooper Tavern and foraging across Southern New Jersey during the Revolutionary War! The historic Benjamin Cooper House of Camden, New Jersey, was witness to incredible events in Southern New Jersey during the war for American Independence. In 1778, British forces in Philadelphia launched an expedition to capture Brigadier General Anthony Wayne in Southern New Jersey. The expedition culminated in a skirmish in what is now downtown Camden City, New Jersey. The Benjamin Cooper house will be rehabilitated as a museum, community center, and public open space in time for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Featuring Dr. Ricardo A. Herrera, author of Feeding Washington's Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778.
