Snow Hill Games Celebrate Lawnside's History on Eve of Juneteenth

Who's ready to play Snow Hill Games?

On the eve of Juneteenth, the Lawnside Historical Society and Visualizing the Past invite adults to show what they know about historic Lawnside while helping fund needed repairs to the Peter Mott House Underground Railroad Museum.

The connection is fitting because the Rev. Peter Mott carried freedom seekers in his wagon to Quaker abolitionists in Haddonfield and Moorestown.

Master teacher Muneerah Higgs will lead a free meetup June 10 at 7 p.m. via Zoom drawing on 10 of her favorite Lawnside History Cards produced for Visualizing the Past. These were the same cards used during Black History Month with Lawnside Public School students. Ala Jeopardy! get a crash course before the real test. Registration is requested using the link provided.

These games begin Thursday, June 18 at 7 p.m., the eve of the first official holiday celebrating Juneteenth, the date in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas were notified of emancipation. Parades and celebrations are planned for June 19th throughout the region including Camden, Moorestown and Cherry Hill.
