Wednesday, March 19, 2025: I grew up in Clementon,(Camden County) New Jersey. If you read the entry in this blog called “Early Childhood Places,” I mentioned living in Clementon from 1956 to ‘74. As a child and later, a teen, I remembered the building that I visited on the date above as the former borough hall, library, and police station. Currently it has been the headquarters of the Clementon Historical Commission and included a small museum: Clementon Historical Commission, 195 Gibbsboro Road (856-783-0284). I meant to visit this museum someday, and when I learned that the Commission had been planning to have an open house to celebrate Clementon’s 100th anniversary (1925-2025), I felt this would be as good a time as ever to see the museum. Once inside, I looked at pictures, texts, and exhibit items that presented Clementon’s past: from American Indian arrowheads to items on display from the past 100 years. Of course, I became nostalgic looking at anything to do with the 1960s and early ‘70s! Overall, it is a small museum, but I found it worthwhile to see and reminisce.
