100th Anniversary Exhibit

The Lawnside Historical Society mounts a year-long exhibit at the Camden County Historical Society, 1900 Park Blvd., Camden, on Sunday, April 26 from 3 – 5 p.m.Curated by Shamele Jordon, the exhibit will present historical documents, multimedia presentations, photos, videos, and family histories focused on government, faith, education, community and culture.
Lawnside was incorporated in March 1926 by an act of the New Jersey State legislature making it the only African American incorporated municipality in New Jersey and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. The community has existed for hundreds of years before incorporation as a settlement of free Black people.
Special events will be held on the first Sunday of each month: A panel of historians set for May 3, 3 – 4:30 p.m. will discuss Green Book locations in Lawnside and Berlin, and a Gallery Talk and tour is scheduled from 3 – 4 p.m. on June 7.
