So you think you know Benjamin Franklin? All are invited to a free lecture about Benjamin Franklin hosted by the Shipman Mansion on September 16 at 7:00 PM. Free mansion tours starting at 6:00 PM.We all think we know Benjamin Franklin, the inventor, the diplomat, the statesman. But before all that, Franklin was a tough, wily young entrepreneur making his way along the Delaware River and in Burlington City. This lecture uncovers the surprising, sometimes questionable tactics he used to get ahead long before the fame and reputation we usually remember. Prepare to be surprised by a side of Franklin that rarely appears in the history books.Our presenter, Skip Arey is a retired college lecturer with an interest in early American history.Light refreshments will be available during the event. Admission is free, though donations are gratefully accepted and directly support the ongoing restoration of the Historic Shipman Mansion. Recent restoration efforts have included a full exterior repainting and significant wood‑repair work, and community contributions help sustain these improvements. The Shipman Mansion is a 501(c)(3) charity. For updates and photos, please visit the Red Dragon Canoe Club’s Facebook page. For questions, call 856‑986‑7969

Back by ridiculous demand! Moorestown250 presents: The 2026 British &amp; Hessian Retreat Fun Run, a signature event for the nation’s 250th Anniversary!
During the American Revolution, 7,700 British and Hessian troops retreated from Philadelphia, storming through Moorestown. They looted homes, burned fields, and famously snatched 40 chickens from the Smith-Cadbury Mansion to roast them right in the parlor! Now, 250 years later, it’s time to settle the score.
Join us for a lively, family-friendly 1-mile “retreat” through historic Moorestown. We’re retracing the steps of the invading soldiers, “returning” stolen goods, and celebrating our community’s incredible history with more speed and spirit than ever before.


• Time: Registration table opens 7:30 AM · Race starts 9 AM

• The Mission: Run, walk, or march to chase the Hessians out of town!
