Please join our effort to preserve and learn from our town’s history! As a non-profit organization run totally by volunteers, the Society must raise funds each year through membership dues and donations in order to maintain Smith-Cadbury Mansion, our headquarters and unique historic house museum located on High Street. Volunteers at the Society care for the many historical artifacts and documents that tell the stories of our town.
Membership benefits: our award winning quarterly newsletter, a 10% discount in the gift shop, and enrollment in Time Travelers, a reciprocal historical sites program created by the Missouri History Museum. This year we encourage you to honor Bill Archer, our very own Town Crier, with a $50 membership level donation or purchase an engraved brick at the $125 level. The society, begun 54 years ago by members of the Moorestown Rotary Club, “to create a museum of Moorestown history,” continues to foster a deep appreciation for our town’s history.

NEW!! Pathway to History 2.0 Engraved Bricks ($125) Membership Donation Level
***DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 30TH!!***
As you might recall, the original brick Pathway to History was part of an ambitious plan to make Smith-Cadbury Mansion wheelchair and handicapped accessible. The original blueprint was to create a path from the bank parking lot to the side entrance of our building. An ADA compliant restroom was also planned. When the bank no longer agreed to us using space in their parking lot, we attempted to visualize a path at the front entrance. This proved quite difficult design-wise, not to mention prohibitively expensive thereby relegating the plan to the back-burner, as they say. We’re very excited, once again, to offer our members an Engraved Brick ($125) here at Smith-Cadbury. We have extensive brickwork paths and patios surrounding our beautiful historic building and we’re excited to add engraved bricks that commemorate a special occasion or a special person and serve as a memento for future generations.The proceeds will go toward funding videos like the expertly produced film that accompanies our current exhibit, Inscribed Quilts: A Portal to Moorestown History, bringing the history happening here at Smith-Cadbury to you wherever you are. Find the video at our YouTube Channel! Please remit your membership dues by June 15th for an engraved brick. ***DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 30TH!!***
We hope you’ll continue to support our mission to provide opportunities for the community to learn about the history of Moorestown and its neighbors. Please renew your membership today or join us if you’re not a member yet!
