In March of 1778, Salem County was invaded by a British foraging expedition sent from Philadelphia while local militia organized to defend their homes. At Quinton’s Bridge, March 18th, the militia was barely able to fend off the British advance over the Alloway Creek, and just three days later Captain Sheppard’s Company, guarding the passage over Hancock’s Bridge, was surprised by the Queen’s Rangers and “massacred”. After this, resistance faded, leaving the county open to plunder. The British eventually left and Salem was at peace once again, but residents would forever remember the trials and tribulations of those days in March of 1778.
Join us at the Hancock House State Historic Site where the militia will form to repel the British once again!
Activities will include:
- Military encampments
- Musket and drill demonstrations
- Tours of the house where the attack happened
- Meet Judge Hancock and others that were there Guided tour of Quinton’s Bridge battle site (3:30pm each day)
For more information, please call: 856.935.4373
This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Hancock House, Inc.

For the tenth year in a row, artists from all over Salem County are coming together to share their studios with the public for a two-day, county-wide event. “Salem County Arts in Bloom”, the free two-day art event will happen on May 19 and 20, 2018, and will span many locations throughout Salem County, NJ (towns such as Alloway, Canton, Elmer, Elsinboro, Lower Alloways Creek, Mannington, Monroeville, Pedricktown, Pennsville, Pilesgrove, Pittsgrove, Salem, and Woodstown).
Guests will enjoy open studio and gallery tours featuring local artists, with activities including pottery demonstrations, painting, fiber arts, puppetry, and much more.
Every year features more than 50 artists in a wide variety of media. This increasingly popular event offers visitors an opportunity to see the spaces where local art is created while exploring Salem County’s beautiful countryside.
Many locations throughout Salem County (and beyond!) have printed brochures available for you to start planning your Salem County Arts in Bloom weekend tour.
As in prior years, local restaurants and cafes are also a part of the event. Many local eateries will be offering discounts to Arts in Bloom participants and visitors, and some are offering “food on the go” for people who want to see as many of the artists’ studios as they possibly can.
