The Historical Society of Moorestown invites you to join us for an update and engaging conversation about our West End Center Oral History Project. Attendees will hear directly from the project team about our progress preserving the history and legacy of the West End Community Center, which served as the social and cultural hub for Moorestown’s once segregated West End neighborhood from 1944-1968. Learn about the new public resources we developed, including recordings of Black elders and digitized original records.
West End Community Center
Attendees are encouraged to bring any personal stories, photos, correspondence, and/or newspaper clippings about The West End Community Center. The Historical Society will have recording and scanning equipment at the event to document any treasures you want to contribute to this important project. Materials can be scanned and returned immediately. The team is specifically seeking materials from the 1940’s and early 1950’s, but will gladly accept materials from any time period.
If you have questions, please contact The Historical Society of Moorestown at (856) 235-0353 or email moorestownhistory@comcast.net.
