Speaker Series Presentation – Treasurers from the Parkhurst Attic
April 13, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Historical Society of Hammonton (HSH) will hold its FREE-to-the-public Speaker Series on Thursday, April 13, 2023, at 7 PM at the Canoe Club, Hammonton Lake Park.
Mr. William H. Parkhurst will bring in a number of historical items from his home, some of which will soon find a home in the HSH Museum in the coming months. This is exciting news as the Parkhurst family was among the first settlers into the Hammonton area in the original New England migration over 150 years ago!
Bill, a life-long resident and long-time member and officer of the Historical Society, owned and operated a very successful farm supply business for many years on White Horse Pike, and still interacts with many of our local farmers. For all of these reasons, one would be hard-pressed to find anyone more in touch with our history and community!
Members are also encouraged to bring in an item or two that you might want to share with the group (no need to donate to the museum, this is show and tell).
If you can’t attend the presentation, come in and play back recordings of this and dozens of other past presentations. Monthly meetings and presentations will continue the first Thursday of each month through June, resuming again in the fall.
Funding has been made possible in part by the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of Cultural Affairs within the Department of State, through funds administered by the Atlantic County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.
