Through music, slides and blueprints, the historical society will pay homage to Elridge Johnson.
Longtime Moorestown resident and benefactor, Eldridge Reeves Johnson, founded the Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden 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 on Wednesday, Nov. 14 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. This event is sponsored by the Elizabeth Tuttle Foundation.
