Burlington County - Moorestown - Victor Talking Machine and an Edison Phonograph!


Wednesday, November 14 – Burlington County

The New Jersey History Speaks Lecture Series commences season 4 on Wednesday, November 14, 2018, at 7 p.m.

   Longtime Moorestown resident and benefactor Eldridge Reeves Johnson founded the Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden, New Jersey, in 1901. At home in Moorestown, Johnson donated funds to build the Moorestown Community House and lived comfortably for 25 years in Breidenhart Castle (today, Lutheran Crossings) where he passed away in 1945.

   Join the Historical Society of Moorestown at the Moorestown Library (111 W. 2nd St.) when composer-lyricist-pianist Christopher Andrew Maier brings Eldridge Johnson back to life and to Moorestown in this multimedia one-man show, which will include music, slides, blueprints, and a demonstration of both a Victor Talking Machine and an Edison Phonograph!
  The event is FREE, but registration is requested. Registered guests will receive priority seating. Anyone who isn’t registered will be seated if any seats remain.

  Please call the library to register at 856-234-0333.
