1730 by Christopher Learning, a whaler, and one of Cape May County's first settlers, and used in the 1700's to make barrels for whale oil. The dried flowers and arrangements are of the same type that the settlers used to add color in their homes. The Aprills raise and dry many of the everlasting flowers such as yarrow, statice, baby's breath, pearly everlasting and nigelia pods. YESTERYEAR is more vividly visualized with the log cabin which Jack Aprill, who has been a carpenter and builder, has constructed as it would have been when Christopher Learning first settled in the late 1600's. The colonial barn hag English chickens, and there are other farm animals in the pasture. Naturalists will find many wild flowers, with occasional swamp pinks, lady -slippers, and the like; and fern vistas prove a cool refreshing walk on an extremely hot day. All paths

are smooth and level. There are also occasional wooden benches. Camera fans will find much of interest, and the artist also would find many a spot worthy of an afternoon with sketch pad or paints, tv.
