The John Woolman Memorial is a historical landmark located in Mount Holly, New Jersey. It is dedicated to the life and legacy of John Woolman, a Quaker preacher and abolitionist who lived during the 18th century. The memorial is situated on the site of Woolman's former home and workshop, which was built in 1772 and destroyed by fire in 1903.

The current memorial consists of a stone monument with a bronze plaque that bears Woolman's likeness and a brief summary of his life's work. The memorial is surrounded by a small park that features a walking path and benches for visitors to sit and reflect on Woolman's contributions to the abolitionist movement and his dedication to social justice.

Woolman was born in 1720 in Northampton County, New Jersey, and lived most of his life in Mount Holly. He was a devout Quaker who believed in the equality of all people, regardless of race or social status. He traveled extensively throughout the American colonies, preaching against slavery and advocating for the rights of oppressed people. He also wrote several influential works, including "Some Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes" and "A Plea for the Poor."

The John Woolman Memorial is a testament to Woolman's enduring legacy and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality.
