Explore the history of Gloucester County by viewing artifacts from the museum and the library of the Gloucester County Historical Society, starting with dinosaur fossils from the cretaceous era, and ending with the latest in technology being used in the 1940s. 

This Power Point presentation discusses the first inhabitants of a much larger Gloucester County, examines the Betsy Ross marriage certificate, and explains how and why Gloucester County was an integral part of our nation’s fight for independence. 

Other areas of interest include the connection between the expression “Don’t give up the ship,” and our museum in Woodbury, the importance of sand and firewood to the economy of our county and the role that G.G. Green played while becoming the county’s first multi-millionaire.
