The Evesham Historical Society

The Evesham Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, understanding, and sharing the rich history of Evesham Township to foster a deeper appreciation of American heritage. In 1988, the society acquired the historic John Inskeep/Higginbotham property, featuring an early 18th-century farmhouse, a privy, and surrounding grounds. The site also includes an old butcher shop, relocated from East Main Street.

Thanks to the dedication of society members, two floors of the farmhouse have been restored and transformed into a museum showcasing local history. Exhibits include Native American artifacts, a colonial kitchen, and a vintage schoolroom, while other rooms display 18th and 19th-century furniture, toys, clothing, and household items. The property is further enhanced by an herb garden, orchard, and flowerbeds.

The society remains committed to maintaining the property, expanding the museum’s offerings, and sparking public interest in Evesham’s history.
