Upcoming exhibit at favorite small museum
I just got this e-mail about an exhibition honoring War/Veterans at one of my favorite little museums. In my earlier wandering years, I would sometimes come across a small museum built from the collections of local enthusiasts, or even of one passionate collector. The two most recent favorites have been the Prehistory Museum in Greenwhich, the beautiful historic town on the Cohansey all the way at the bottom of the state. It houses several collections of the relics of the Indigenous people who once thrived in South Jersey. Collectors have painstakingly pieced together pottery from shards, and collected fossils and thousands of projectile points (arrow heads) and donated them to this museum. It used to be a vaorite destination of mine in my distant driving days.
I have followed the museum at what was once Andaloro Farm from its former location in Glassboro. This museum is mostly the collection of one enthusiast and I have visited it regularly and enjoyed it tremendously. One of my favorite exhibits is the annual model train show. But now there is something new to see -
Hi Everyone,
This year we are really looking forward to a brand new U. S. Military History exhibit. It runs from May 1st through May 31st, 2026...just in time for the Memorial Day holiday. This exhibit, covering World War I through the Iraq War, will be a salute to the American Veteran and our fallen heroes. Among the items to be displayed are weapons, uniforms, posters and civilian paraphernalia, and, of course, we do have some new items on display!
Attached is the U. S. Military History flyer so that you can share with friends and family.
We all hope to see you there!
