Millside Manor which is now Hunters Glen, replaced Millside Farms and opened in the late 1960’s. A two bedroom apartment leased for $200 a month. Here’s the layouts and the promotional materials provided to prospective renters. Did you live there? What do you remember most?

About 100 homes in Delran were built before 1900.  At least one house dates back to the mid-1700’s.  The Delran Historical Society would like to inventory these houses as they look today.  We’d also like to document the history of these houses and the families that once lived in them.  If you own or lived in one of these houses, we hope you will share your photos and stories of the people who once lived here.  More information is available on our website.

Join the Delran Historical Society on June 19 at 7pm at the Delran Municipal Building.  Marisa Bozarth, Museum Curator, Burlington County Parks will enlighten with her program:  The  Women Behind the Men.  Her presentation focuses on the lives of women from Burlington County who played a role in the history of our local community, state, and nation. These women were leaders in education, medicine, journalism, agriculture, art, and social justice. A few of the women’s stories to be told are Alice Paul, Agnes Smith, Clara Barton, Patience Wright, Elizabeth White and others.  The public is welcome to attend.  Light refreshments will follow.

This month, Marisa Bozarth Museum Curator at Burlington County Parks will present Campbell’s:  More than Just Soup at our monthly meeting on Tuesday March 20 at 7pm.  Her presentation tells the story of the Campbell’s Soup Company’s humble beginnings to becoming a multi-million dollar company and the role Burlington County farmers played in the process.  I’m sure we all have enjoyed Campbell’s Soup and it’s likely our Delran farmers sent produce to Campbell’s.  This event is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served after Marisa’s presentation.
