A Window into the Past: The Genesis of History Village
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Smithville, New Jersey, History Village emerges as a captivating living museum that transports visitors to a bygone era. Its genesis can be traced back to the vision of a remarkable woman, Helen L. Williams, who dedicated her life to preserving the legacy of American history. In 1954, Williams founded the Burlington County Historical Society with the mission of showcasing the region's rich past. Her unwavering determination culminated in the establishment of History Village in 1968, a project that would forever change the landscape of historical education and preservation in the United States.
