Today, I was reading the Camden County Historical Society Communicator, a newsletter I truly enjoy as a benefit of my membership in the CCHS. Among the many interesting columns about interesting historical figures and places in Camden County, such as Snow Hill, there was the announcement of the first annual South Jersey History Fair to be held at the Gabreil Daveis Tavern, 500 Third Avenue, Glendora on Saturday, June 8th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
I absolutely love the Gabreil Daveis (Gabreil's own preferred spelling of his name) Tavern and I am delighted to see South Jersey's fascinating history on display somewhere so close to me!
Anyone in South Jersey history will admit to a bit of feeling left out in New Jersey's historical presentation of itself, despite our very large presence in everything from the Revolutionary War to every kind of trade and movement, we are always Cinderella to the, for some reason, favored Sisters of North and Central Jersey. Only recently through the efforts of various historians, has South Jersey's importance begun to be celebrated.
And Even more LOCAL: HERITAGE TRAIL MAY 11, all day!
Built in Camden County Day features twelve historic sites open for touring all day from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information visit www.HistoryAlliance.com
And if you want to receive the Communicator in the mail as well as the Camden County Heritage magazine now in Number 2, Volume 3, Spring 2019 edition, join up! I have been a member for some years beginning with my genealogy research in their library. I think if you are a senior, you can join for $10 - a bargain! Find out what's going on in the Camden County History world and support a worthy endeavor, join up! Hope to see you at one of these events!
Happy Trails,
