Take a trip through Hammonton’s past! Join us for a fun and fascinating evening exploring the stories behind our town’s streets, old homes, and historic sites. You’ll hear how roads were renamed, buildings were moved, legends were created – and how Hammonton once had three different “centers” before becoming an official town in 1866.
Expect lots of great trivia, surprising discoveries, and plenty of “I never knew that!” moments.
The program will be presented by Greg White, HSH’s immediate past president and lead historian, and Deborah White, HSH museum curator and trustee. Since joining the Society in 2017, they’ve conducted extensive research efforts that keep uncovering new gems about Hammonton.
Come connect, learn, and celebrate Hammonton’s history with us!
