They say dead men tell no tales, but our March speaker believes differently.

In celebration of the 160th anniversary of Hammonton’s incorporation, local writer, historian, and cemetery caretaker Joseph F. Berenato will present a fascinating look at Hammonton’s four (yes, four) cemeteries before digging into the lives of some of the town’s earliest movers and shakers: who they were, what they did, and where they now rest.

From community leaders to lesser-known figures, Berenato’s talk brings Hammonton’s past to life through the stories etched in stone and preserved in local history. Join us as we dig deep into Hammonton’s past and uncover the tales our cemeteries still have to tell.

Joseph F. Berenato holds a Master’s degree in Writing from Rowan University and wrote for the local newspaper, to varying degrees, from 1997 to 2023. He is a published author and editor specializing in pop culture analysis and local history, and is the co-host of the Jersey Oddcast. Berenato currently serves as Chair of the Hammonton Environmental Commission and is the caretaker of Oak Grove Cemetery, where he also serves as Board Secretary. He is a former trustee of the Historical Society of Hammonton.
