DEPTFORD - A rusting iron plow and other antique farm equipment decorate the front lawn of a white farmhouse on preserved agricultural land here. But visitors are welcome and will find the home is about more than farming.
The house serves as the Museum of American History, where South Jersey history is woven among 5,000 artifacts dating from the fossils of prehistoric times to early tools as far back as 15,000 years ago, farm implements and items about war, home life and culture of the 20th century.
And until June 5 the museum is a temporary exhibit on World War II memorabilia, some of it belonging to South Jersey veterans.
