Millville’s 4th of July parade will be especially memorable this year as the nation marks the 250 th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

To celebrate, the Millville Historical Society will showcase one of the city’s historic treasures: the 1886 Whitaker Ice Wagon. The parade begins at 4:00 pm on July 4, 2026, at the Millville Public Library and travels down High Street to the Tim Shannon Sports Complex at 2 Sharp Street. Post-parade festivities begin at 6:00
pm, followed by fireworks at 9:00 pm.

Through generous donations from Millville Historical Society members and friends, the 1886 ice wagon’s body has been extensively restored, and a protective shed was built to preserve this remarkable artifact. The Society will celebrate the
wagon’s completion in September at its Ice Cream Social.

Franklyn Pangburn, 93, will es**rt the ice wagon during the parade. A Korean War veteran, Franklyn fondly remembers riding through Millville on the wagon as a child. At age six, he sat beside his father as he delivered ice to customers along the route, and he occasionally accompanied his uncle as well. His grandfather also worked at the Whitaker plant, where the ice was produced.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-generation celebration. Join the Millville Historical Society at the 4 th of July parade as we proudly debut the coolest wagon of them all and honor America’s 250th anniversary!

Our June Legislative Update ... https://government-affairs-update.netlify.app/

History lives not only in textbooks, but also in our local families and community stories. This month, Millville’s Third Friday falls on Juneteenth, the federal holiday observed annually on June 19. The date commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, marking June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the close of the Civil War.

At the Millville Historical Society’s Genealogical and Research Library, located at 200 East Main Street, a new initiative will explore Black contributions to Millville’s history. The project is in its initial stages and begins with census records for Millville Township from 1830 to 1870, the history of the A.M.E. Church, vintage newspaper articles, and yearbooks.

Visit the Society’s Genealogical and Research Library on June 19, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm to share stories, photographs, and information about Black community leaders and family members from Millville’s past. Help document the significant role Black residents played in the city’s early development by contributing memories and historical materials. Materials may also be shared on the Millville Historical Society’s page if desired.

Next door at the 1798 Baracha Dunn House, Millville Historical Society member, Kim Ballurio will prepare two historic beverages: switchel and sorrel. Switchel, a centuries-old farmers’ drink also known as “haymakers’ punch,” earned its nickname during hay harvests and is believed to have Caribbean roots, though New England also claims it. Ballurio will also make sorrel, a red hibiscus drink often associated with Juneteenth celebrations and the resilience of enslaved ancestors. Sorrel was introduced to the Caribbean region, Central and parts of South America by enslaved Africans. The hibiscus plant, an essential ingredient of sorrel, is native and domesticated in West Africa. The drink is made from the flowers known as bissap.

Tours of the Dunn House, Millville’s oldest surviving downtown building, will be offered throughout the evening.
