A good show in the past. I will try to attend. http://www.newjerseyantiquebottleclub.com/shows.html
If anyone is interested after you attend the show and time permits check out all of these sites that early glass works 1822 to 1870 were located near just 2 to 3 miles south of Batsto . In order heading south and east of Batsto
If you put in these coordinates 39° 38.615'N 74° 38.980'W just before before you leave the village you will be at the Batsto glass works. The glass works were located just to the south east of the large lake on Batsto village road. Easy Walk while at the show.
If you put in these coordinates 39° 37.61'N 74° 37.200'W A 3 minute drive south of the Batsto works you will be at the Atlantic Glass works at Crowleytown. Easy
Leaving Crowleytown and heading East on Rte. 542 put in these coordinates 39° 37.104'N 74° 36.019'W in your GPS , your PC or smart phone you will be standing near Hermann City. A 900 ft walk from the road.
Leaving Hermann City again East on 542 less then a mile away by putting in these coordinates 39° 37.240'N 74° 35.90'W you will be at the Bulltown glass works. They are located on Private property but you can get close.
Leaving Bulltown less then a quarter mile south and east again on rte 542 put in these coordinates 39° 36.730'N 74° 35.280'W you will be at the William Coffin Srs Glass works at Greenbank the oldest glass works in the Mullica river area. Private Property again but you can get close.
Now if time permits heading back towards Batsto on Rte 542 put in these coordinates 39° 37.885'N 74° 46.320'W you will be traveling a total of around 9 miles west and when you reach the White Horse Pike (Rte. 30 ) you will be staring at where once the William Coffin Seniors glass factory was located in Hammonton New Jersey .The glass works founded in 1823 are buried under a hospital to your right across the pike. There is a river and lake front next to the hospital so you can envision what it looked like back in 1825.
