Swedesboro Historical Society
The Swedesboro-Woolwich Historical Society meets on
the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:00pm in Borough Hall.

The Swedesboro-Woolwich Historical Society provides educational and cultural events throughout the year.  In the fall, a Civil War Living History Day is held.  The Society co-sponsors the Annual Holiday House Tour in December.  Talks and demonstrations are given at regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year.

The goal of the Society is to obtain and preserve the history of the Borough and surrounding township.  To meet this end, the society collects and archives artifacts, photos, family histories, documents, books, and items which help to keep alive Swedesboro's history. 

Please contact the Society if you wish to add to its collection or can give an oral history.

Local Resident Writes History of Swedesboro

Lois M. Stanley, a former Kingsway teacher and long-time local resident and Russell C. Shiveler, Jr., a descendent of one of the area farming families, have co-authored, with the Swedesboro-Woolwich Historical Society, a book on the History of Swedesboro and Woolwich Township. 

The book, published by Arcadia Publishing, is on sale now $21.99 plus S&H (if mailed) and can be purchased by calling Lois Stanley at 856-467-1889.

All books purchased either of these ways will benefit the Swedesboro Woolwich Historical Society.

Books ordered through Mrs. Stanley can be personalized (signed by the authors).

The book is also available at major book store chains and some shops around town.  Purchasing at alternate locations does not benefit the historical society.
