Speaker Series Presentation – Littlefield Family History

November 2, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

This month’s FREE-to-the-public Historical Society of Hammonton (HSH)’s Speaker Series will take place Thursday, November 2 at 7 PM at the Canoe Club, Hammonton Lake Park.

November’s speakers will be William H. Parkhurst III, and Andrea (Littlefield) Marino, who will present the history and legacy of the Littlefield family.

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.  The Parkhurst family was among the first settlers in the Hammonton area in the original New England migration over 150 years ago, with some of his ancestors departing England nearly 200 years previously.  For these reasons, one would be hard-pressed to find anyone more in touch with our history and community!

Ms. Marino, now a resident of Manhattan, is the daughter of Joyce and the late Alan Littlefield, founders of Littlefield Real Estate, in which she remains actively involved.  Her father Lance was the son of Clarence (“C.I.”) Littlefield, founder of Littlefield Ice & Coal, and Hammonton’s First Federal Savings Bank.

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.
