Gary Mann Jewelers

For Gary Mann, jewelry wasn’t simply a career—it was a family tradition. Raised in Rochester, New York, he grew up around jewelers and watchmakers, and his family history traced the craft back as many as ten generations, through goldsmiths, silversmiths, and blacksmiths.
With Mann’s recent passing this year, the family made the difficult decision to close Gary Mann Jewelers—the family business. They ran for many decades in the Manayunk neighborhood—and will hold a final, going-out-of-business sale open to the public beginning September 24, 2026.During the sale, customers looking for great discounts on high-quality fine jewelry will have the opportunity to discover many unique, one-of-a-kind custom pieces. The inventory represents years of creativity and craftsmanship, making the closing sale a special event, with a wide range of prices and styles to suit every budget.Gary Mann Jewelers was one of the pioneers to establish itself in Manayunk, setting the standard for timeless style and exceptional taste for many of the early entrepreneurs in the district. Mann opened the store in 1988 in the distinctive, artsy neighborhood west of Center City. Want to Go?

Gloucester County Historical Society Museum, 58 N. Broad Street in Woodbury

The <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gloucester County Historical Society</a>&nbsp;takes a look back at the ghost stories from the Civil War in a special presentation in its Museum hosted by Civil War reenactor Vince Dicicco from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on Thursday, October 15. He will detail the haunted sites, errie encounters, and tales of apparitions reported from buildings and sites across the grounds where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought.
Gettysburg is considered one of the most haunted places in the country, with numerous accounts of ghostly regiments, phantom horsemen, and mysterious faces appearing in photographs. Sites like Devil’s Den at Gettysburg, Bloody Lane at Antietam, Chickamauga, Sharpsburg, Shiloh, and Andersonville are well-known for reports of spectral soldiers wandering the grounds or reenacting historical battles.
Tourists and locals at Gettysburg have reported seeing apparitions, hearing the sounds of battle, and encountering unexplained phenomena around landmarks such as the Gettysburg Orphanage, Farnsworth House, and Soldier’s Orphanage cellar. Bloody Lane at Antietam has tales of ghostly singing, vanishing Confederate soldiers, phantom gunfire, and strange smells attributed to lingering spirits of fallen men.
Tickets available at $15/person. Tickets must be <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/shop/vince-dicicco/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">purchased in advance online</a>.

Woodbury Friends Meetinghouse at 124 North Broad Street in Woodbury

In a <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/shop/presentation-when-british-general-charles-cornwallis-occupied-gloucester-county/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">presentation</a> at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Woodbury Friends Meeting House, historian Patrick Ward will recount the local Revolutionary War campaigns of British General Charles Cornwallis, one of Great Britain’s most aggressive and capable senior field commanders during the American Revolution. Cornwallis’ later maneuvers in the South ultimately culminated in his surrender at Yorktown, the final battle of the war, in 1781.
Cosponsored by the <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gloucester County Historical Society</a> and the <a href="https://www.southjerseyquakers.org/woodbury-friends-meeting/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Woodbury Friends Meeting</a>, the event is open to the public and admission is free.
Ward is a Southern New Jersey historian whose interest focuses on Gloucester City, the Delaware River, and the region’s Revolutionary War history. Cosponsored by the Gloucester County Historical Society and the Friends Meeting, the event is free and open to the public.
Titled “British General Lord Cornwallis Marches to Woodbury and Gloucester County in November 1777,” Ward’s PowerPoint presentation will include maps from the period, information about the military units that participated, personal accounts from those on the march, and details about how the Americans responded to Cornwallis’ forces.
On Oct. 22, 1777, Hessian forces failed to capture Fort Mercer at Red Bank. By holding the fort, American troops disrupted efforts to resupply the British Army in Philadelphia by way of the Royal Navy and other supply vessels on the Delaware River.
General Sir William Howe, commander in chief of the British land forces, responded by organizing a larger expedition against Fort Mercer. He placed General Lord Cornwallis in command of the attacking force.
On Nov. 17, 1777, a combined force of British and Hessian troops landed south of Fort Billingsport, New Jersey, and began marching north through Gloucester County. Additional British troops from New York City landed at Fort Billingsport under the command of General Thomas Wilson.
Cornwallis assumed command of the combined force, estimated at 4,900 troops, and led it north toward Fort Mercer at Red Bank. Their objective was to eliminate the last remaining American threat to British shipping on the Delaware River.
Ward’s presentation will include an opportunity for informal discussion with the audience.
Free parking available on Hunter Street in the Gloucester County Historical Society lot and the large County Justice Complex Parking Garage. <a href="https://bit.ly/woodbury-free-parking" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/woodbury-free-parking</a>
