The Historical Society of Hammonton will be among the featured participants in this year’s Atlantic County Roundtable of Historical Organizations annual program, which highlights historic themes from across the county. This year’s topic, “Places of Worship in Olde Atlantic County,” will explore the churches, synagogues, and other places of worship that shaped local communities through the 1920s.
The event will take place on Sunday, April 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the Canoe Club in Hammonton. Historical societies from across Atlantic County will each deliver a brief five-minute presentation on their town’s early religious institutions.
“The Historical Society of Hammonton is excited to share our town’s history as part of this county-wide effort,” said Eileen Unger, President of the Historical Society of Hammonton. “Places of worship were often the center of early communities, serving as gathering places, schools, and cornerstones of civic life. This program is a wonderful opportunity to learn how faith and history intersected in Hammonton and beyond.”
This event is free and open to the public. History enthusiasts, community members, and those interested in Hammonton’s past are encouraged to attend.
