The Historical Society of Haddonfield will be closed on Wednesday March 7 due to the weather.
According to our inclement weather policy, the Society follows the schedule of the Haddonfield School District and the Philadelphia School District, since some staff and volunteers travel from further distances. The Philadelphia School District announced this evening that it will be closed Wednesday, so the Society will be closed too.
Enjoy the snow day!

The Historical Society of Haddonfield has been awarded a second year of general operating support from the Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission at Camden County College. The Commission is the officially designated county history agency of the New Jersey Historical Commission.
The new $2,750 grant award will bolster the Historical Society’s work to preserve, study and share the history of Haddonfield and its environs.
The Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission was founded in 1972, and recognizes the role of arts and local history in making our communities dynamic places to live and work.
In the case of inclement weather, the Historical Society of Haddonfield follows the schedule of the Haddonfield School District *and* the School District of Philadelphia. If either of those districts close, delay opening, or dismiss early, the Society will close or delay its public hours as appropriate. We want to be sure that staff and volunteers traveling from further distances can get home safely.
The Historical Society will be closed for the holidays starting Monday December 25 through Monday January 1, 2018.
The Historical Society’s Archives Center will reopen for its usual public hours on Tuesday January 2, and Greenfield Hall will reopen for its usual public hours on Wednesday January 3.
Thanks to a recent donation from a Githens family member, the Historical Society currently has seven copies of the out-of-print book, The Githens Family in America 1741-1977, by Sherwood Githens, Jr., available. The books are available for a donation of $20 each and can be shipped to you.
To place your order, please contact the Archives Center at library@haddonfieldhistory.org or 856-429-7375.
UPDATE: As of 11/1/2018, all of our extra copies of The Githens Family in America have been claimed.
