American History Museum of Deptford


      Friday, June 25, 2021: In a large white former farmhouse, I entered a museum that claimed, “Our museum is not a building filled with artifacts: It is a building filled with history…told with artifacts.” The Museum of American History at Deptford, New Jersey, 138 Andaloro Way, Deptford, NJ (in Gloucester County) (856-812-1121) contained six rooms of exhibit items, texts, and pictures on two floors. Each room covered a different theme: Local Deptford History, Pre-Columbian History, and a room with antique tools & equipment, as well as fossils, farm equipment, and glass & ceramics. Overall, I experienced an interesting and educational hour here!
