The Historical Society of Haddonfield has been selected as a beneficiary of Acme’s new GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS reusable bag fundraiser.

Starting August 15 and continuing through September 30, the Historical Society will receive $1 for each of these $3 reusable bags sold at the Acme Markets store in Haddon Township, located at 400 West Cuthbert Road, Westmont, unless otherwise directed by the customer.

We hope you’ll help to GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS and support our work to preserve Haddonfield’s history!

After a brief hiatus, we recently launched a new online form for ordering copies of books published by the Historical Society of Haddonfield.

You can now use the online system to order copies of books like Haunted Haddonfield, Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh 1680-1762, or Jan Twitchell’s autobiography, A Fortunate Life, among others.

The new online system is connected directly to PayPal, or you can download a paper version of the order form and mail it to us with a check. Click here to check out the new online form.

Members get a 10% discount on purchases; contact us at 856-429-7375 or [email protected] to get your discount code BEFORE placing your order.

In addition, we still have a handful of prints of the 1899 Haddonfield birdseye map for sale. The unframed print is 20″ x 30″, and available for $50 (tax included). Please contact our office to place your order for a print.

The Historical Society will be closed next Friday and skip our usual “First Sunday” hours due to the Independence Day holiday. We will be closed Thursday July 4 through Sunday July 7, and reopen to the public on Monday July 8.

Please feel free to call or email the office or the Archives Center to arrange an appointment for another time to visit. You can reach us at 856-429-7375 or by emailing [email protected].

Looking further ahead, we will also close to the public for the month of August as usual. As in past years, we will skip our “First Sunday” hours in September due to the Labor Day holiday weekend. That means that our last summer hours for Greenfield Hall will be Wednesday July 31 from 1-4 pm, and our last summer research hours at the Archives Center will be Wednesday July 31 from 9:30-11:30 am.

If you miss us in July, you can still reach out by phone or email, but please be patient if we are slow to respond. We will return to regular public hours after Labor Day. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Your membership has enabled us to accomplish so much this year. We continue to work with local students and educators, providing tours of Greenfield Hall for second graders and hosting high school researchers as they explore primary source materials in our Archives Center. Our “First Sunday” pop-up displays featured the World Wars, weddings in Haddonfield, and a lovely exhibit of parasols. We continue our schedule of quarterly lectures, book club, and other special events.

We have exciting plans for the year ahead, but we need your continued support to help us preserve Haddonfield’s amazing history.
