New Exhibit: 

240 Years of Women’s Footwear

The Historical Society of Haddonfield’s latest exhibit is now open to visitors 1-4 PM Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, some Saturdays and by appointment.  It will stand until after the Skirmish event on June 7, 2025.Over 20 pairs are displayed and each pair of shoes is accompanied by historical and educational information.  (For example, until the early 19th Century, there was no difference between the left and right shoe!)  The parts of a shoe, a shoe style timeline, the trades using leather and a description of a shoe “last” are among topics explained on data boards. The earliest example on display is from c. 1740 and is likely a calamanco fabric slipper. 

The exhibit is mounted in the Victorian Parlor of Greenfield Hall. The Society’s headquarters is located at 343 Kings Highway East, Haddonfield, NJ.  For more information call 856-429-7375 or email [email protected]. Admission is free. Donations appreciated.
