Delran Street Signs – A Piece of Delran History Still Available!

The Delran Historical Society Delran Street sign fundraiser held a couple of years ago was a great success and a way for so many to own a piece of Delran history!  So many were proud to own a street sign they grew up on or had great memories of.  We still have a few signs left and below is what is still available.  Each sign is $15 or two for $25.  If you would like to purchase any signs on this list, please contact Mal Anderson at 609-845-8389 and we’ll make arrangements to pick up or ship your signs.

Chronicling the past with an eye to the future

Be sure to check out the new info in the Early Homes of Delran Tab which describes the history to some of the historical homes in Delran.

We are always looking to discover more information about the other historical homes in our community.

We encourage anyone who owns one of Delran’s historical homes or anyone who lived in them to consider sharing any old photos, information or stories you have about the home. Historical homes help to give a unique character to Delran which can not be found anywhere else.

Please email us at [email protected]  and include a phone number so we can contact you. -Thank You

 

Burlington County currently has no preserved American Revolutionary War Battlefield sites. But one Revolutionary War site named Petticoat Bridge Battlefield is in need of preservation. If Petticoat Bridge Battlefield is not preserved it is very likely that the 197 acres of farmland in Burlington County will be development.

If you would like to see the Petticoat Bridge Battlefield site preserved then please sign the petition in the link below. Thank You For Your Support!

JANUARY 21, 2020 Meeting will be Show and Tell.

– Bring any historical item you would like to our meeting and tell us the story behind it. – We really enjoy hearing everyone’s interesting stories. – Items do not have to be Delran related. Any historical item is interesting.

Join us this Tuesday, November 19, at our monthly meeting at the Delran municipal building at 7:00 PM where Chris Doerner, antiques and collectibles auctioneer and owner of 21 Centruey Antiques, will be our guest speaker. He will share his experience and knowledge of the auction world. He will provide tips on what to do with that house of items you just inherited, how to better plan for those items “before” you inherit them, helping you narrow down your items of worth, and what to look for in a good auctioneer and become a successful bidder, yourself. Light refreshments will be served.

At our meeting November 20th meeting, we will be kicking off our Early Homes of Delran project.  PJ Buzzi, a Delran Historical Society member, will share the history of his house and the people who lived there, one of which was Delran’s First Mayor.  Our meetings are held at the Delran Township Municipal Building and start at 7pm.

We are looking to document homes built before 1900.  Many of these homes were photographed in the l970’s and 80’s but much has changed.  We will be visiting these addresses and photographing these houses after the leaves are off the trees.  Over the winter, we will be researching the history of these homes.   We need your help!  If you own or lived in one of these houses, we hope that you will share photographs of the original architectural features inside such as fireplace, cabinets, floors, or woodwork as well as stories of the people and events that happened in the house. Visit our website for more information about this project.

We still have street signs available for purchase.  Each sign costs $20.  Unfortunately, many of the popular streets have sold out.  A list of signs is posted on our website.
