Here is a new addition to my growing US 50 States Map card collection, the New Jersey Map card! This was sent to me by Stephen, a middle school teacher who probably went looking for uniforms and these map cards in a local shop. 🙂 He is from one of my various swap groups on Facebook. I got it a few months back.

Here are a few tidbits of information about this State:

• State Capital is Trenton
• It is third of the original 13 states
• State motto is “Liberty and prosperity”
• State Tree is Red Oak
• State Flower is Bogbice Violet
• State Bird is Eastern Goldfinch

Stephen wrote this at the back of the card:

Glad we could swap cards. I spent a couple of weeks in New Jersey working in June. Normally I am in the L.A. area where I work as a middle school teacher. Best wishes! 

Thanks so much for this beautiful card! ^_^
