We might be headed into summer this weekend, but our minds are already on the holidays. Merchantville's Holiday Home Tour is back and we are well into planning this year’s tour. The tour is the first Saturday in December - December 5, 2026. A self-guided walk through some of the most beautifully decorated homes in town, with all proceeds going back into beautifying downtown Merchantville. We already have some amazing homes on board and we are looking for a few more to complete the tour.

Many Merchantville residents made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States. During World War I, four (4) Merchantville residents lost their lives on the battlefields of Europe during the Great War. Their legacies and home addresses were historically preserved on the town's 1921 Armistice Day monument. They are: Corporal Frederick W. Grigg, raised in Merchantville as one of ten children, he served with General Pershing before deploying to France.

The Merchantville Community Center is getting a much needed facelift! Recently, the Borough was awarded a $50,000 Historic Preservation Grant through Camden County Government for the project to preserve this Merchantville landmark. Restoration work includes stucco repairs, painting, and attention to exterior wood repairs. Take a look at its progress on your next stroll by! Additionally, a $25,000 grant was secured through the Camden County Recreation Program.
