Speaker Series Presentation - John Mazzeo: Family and Photography in Hammonton
2022-11-03 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Canoe Club at Hammonton Lake Park, 100 Sports Drive, Hammonton, 08037
This month’s program will follow the Mazzeo family’s arrival from Italy in 1884, from his great grandfather’s humble beginnings as a brickyard laborer through farming and onto the family photography business of 76 years, the longest-running studio within the national association.
Jack Mazzeo, who grew up in the business his dad started in 1946, will present a pictorial history that is sure to bring back lots of local memories. He and Janet, his wife of 49 years, have raised three children and enjoy three grandchildren.
The Historical Society of Hammonton preserves the rich social, political, economic, and multi-cultural heritage of our town and its people. Our mission is to increase awareness of Hammonton’s history, and to establish public access to that history by collecting, conserving, interpreting, and promoting it to the widest possible audience. Our Museum, housed in a historic 1887 building (former – Town Hall / Library / Kindergarten), is located behind Hammonton Veterans Memorial Park, open Tuesdays 10 AM to Noon, and every Saturday 11 AM to 2 PM.
If you can’t attend any of our presentations, come in and play back recordings of this and past Speaker Series presentations. This will be our final speaker of 2022, but monthly meetings and presentations will reconvene on the first Thursday evenings on the month, January through June.
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.
