“Presbyterian Church History and Anniversary,” presented by Donna Brown and Johanna Johnson

This month’s program will feature a full evening focused on the Hammonton Presbyterian Church.

Donna Brown will provide a fascinating recap of Hammonton’s history as it relates to the church, sharing photos from her father’s archive. Her father was a longtime editor of the Hammonton News, and his collection offers a unique glimpse into the town’s past.

Johanna Johnson, part of the church’s leadership team, will highlight the upcoming 130th anniversary celebration.

Bill Parkhurst, Historical Society trustee and longtime member, may also share insights to round out the evening.

Come connect, learn, and celebrate Hammonton’s history with us!

The Historical Society of Hammonton is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich, multi-cultural social, economic, and political heritage of our town and its people. Our mission is to increase awareness of Hammonton’s rich history and to establish public access by collecting, conserving, interpreting, and promoting it to the widest possible audience.

Our Museum, built in 1887, is a treasure in itself. Formerly the Hammonton Town Hall, it also served as a Town Library and Kindergarten. Located in Hammonton Veterans Memorial Park, it is open to the public on Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM. We’re open other days by appointment or happenstance. If you see the OPEN flag flying, come on in!

If you can’t attend the presentation, you can find them on our YouTube channel, or you can 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.

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.
