Feeling tired and weary of the burden, she cursed the unborn child. According to the folklore, she gave birth to the devil's child at their home in the Pine Barrens. Today, the tale of Jersey Devil is often discussed as just that—a tale. However, during the time of the fabled Jersey Devil's reign of terror, South Jersey residents were truly frightened. How the accounts were reported and the folklore that developed will be discussed during this session by Angus Kress Gillespie, Ph.D., Professor of American Studies and Urban Studies at Rutgers University. 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM 16 4-11: Lunch 'n Learn: Honeybees Come learn from the South Jersey Beekeepers Association on the benefits and importance of beekeeping, plus why we need to help protect the amazing honeybee.
