As our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of American independence, join the Historical Society of Moorestown for a memorable evening celebrating Moorestown’s remarkable connection to the Declaration of Independence — and the family ties that continue to connect us today.

In the summer of 1776, while daily life carried on along King’s Highway, Moorestown native Timothy Matlack was in Philadelphia helping to shape the course of history. As secretary to the Continental Congress, Matlack is widely recognized as the man who penned the final handwritten version of the Declaration of Independence.

The evening will feature:

● Brief remarks by Chris Coelho, author of Timothy Matlack,Scribe of the Declaration

● A celebration of the Matlack family legacy and the many branches of the family tree that spread far beyond Moorestown

● Opportunities to connect with fellow descendants and history enthusiasts

● The famous Dusty Road Sundae from Matlack’s Dairy Bar

● Washington’s Beer, specially brewed by Double Nickel Brewing Company in honor of Moorestown’s 250th celebration

Your ticket will include: Light fare, 1 drink token, 1 ice cream token. Additional beverages and ice cream will be available for purchase.

All proceeds benefit the Historical Society!

The Double Nickel Brewing Company is situated along the Pennsauken Creek on land once connected to William Matlack’s original 17th-century property holdings.
