Marisa Bozarth, Museum Curator at Burlington County Parks will present Campbell’s: More than Just Soup at our monthly meeting on Tuesday March 19 at 7pm at the Delran Municipal Building.  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.

We’re excited because we’ve got more Delran Street Signs to sell. So if you’re looking for a unique one-of-kind gift, consider purchasing an old street sign. Delran Township is in the process of replacing neighborhood street signs and they’ve provided the old signs to the Delran Historical Society to sell as a fundraiser.  We’re selling the old streets signs for $20 on a first come first serve basis. We started this process last September and sold 250 signs.  This time, we have 230 signs for 115 streets available.

We learned a lot when we started selling the signs in the fall and we’re launching a new process.  Please review the list of 2018 Streets to see if the street you want is available.  If the street is listed, complete the form for each sign you wish to purchase.  We’ll be taking orders until April 27.  If the sign you requested is available, you will receive an email with directions on how to pay for your sign. Signs can be picked up on May 7 and May 15 at 6-8pm at the Delran Municipal Building.  We will set up webpage to pay by credit card.  Of course, we will take cash or check at pick-up.

The Delran Historical Society would like to thank Flagg’s Garden Center and Landscaping for donating the landscaping at the Delran Municipal Building.  We think it looks really nice.  Please contact them for your landscaping needs.

Join the Delran Historical Society for a bus trip to Longwood Gardens on November 25, 2017 for “A Longwood Christmas”.  This is a great way to start the Holiday Season  when there are organ sing-alongs, strolling carolers, and holiday horticulture fills the Gardens.  The cost is $65 per person which includes the bus and entrance ticket to Longwood Gardens.  We’ll meet the bus at the Target parking lot at 11:30am and return by 8pm.  If you’d like to purchase a ticket please email or call (609)410-1602 to reserve a spot.
