Join us on Friday, November 9 @ 7:30pm at the Jack C. Sheppard, Sr. Community Center (train station) in Wenonah as GCHS volunteer, Eileen Shanahan, presents “G.G. Green & His Legacy.” Learn about George G. Green, his Woodbury mansion and his many business enterprises, including his patent medicine empire, that helped to make him known as “Woodbury first millionaire.”
Since 1903, the mission of the Gloucester County Historical Society has been to collect, preserve, and share the history of the Southern New Jersey area.
Our mission has helped us develop the GCHS Research Library (17 Hunter St.) as home to one of the largest genealogical collections in Southern New Jersey. Our collection of newspapers, manuscripts, photographs, deeds, maps, and miscellaneous family papers makes it easy to research your town, home, or family.
We have also created an extensive collection of objects housed and displayed at the Hunter-Lawrence-Jessup House Museum (58 N. Broad) including military artifacts, textiles, furniture, glass, toys, trains, kitchen utensils, tools, portraiture, and much more.
The Gloucester County Historical Society is a private, non-profit 501(c)3 organization and your donations and membership are welcome.
