Gloucester County Historical Society Museum in Woodbury
The Gloucester County Historical Society Museum gives Woodbury visitors a way into the county's everyday past. Its home is the Hunter-Lawrence-Jessup House on North Broad Street, and the society preserves a large artifact and archival collection. Verify hours and admission before going: current pages on the operator's site do not agree on every detail.

A house with a county-wide collection
The historical society describes more than 30,000 artifacts and objects tied to Gloucester County. The historic house frames them in a place that has its own story, so this is more than a display room of unrelated antiques.
What a visit can add
Look for objects that explain work, domestic life and community change across the county. Exhibitions rotate, and the research collections have separate rules from museum admission. If a particular object or family history is the reason for your trip, contact the society first.
