JOHN WOOLMAN MEMORIAL
MOUNT HOLLY, NJ
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.

He was a devout Quaker who believed in the equality of all people, regardless of race or social status.
