Board of Trustees
Julie Maravich - President
Julie Maravich has been a Moorestown resident and old home owner, together with her husband Nick Maravich Jr. M.D.,and their two daughters, Lexie and Breezy since 1998.
Coming from an art and healthcare background; her love of history led her to join the Moorestown Historical Society in 2000. She was invited to join the board in 2003 and has been serving ever since.
Julie created the ever popular Ghost Tours, and has led fundraising committees for many Historical Society events. Her notable projects include leading the charge to save Swede Run Barn on Westfield Road; serving on The Thomas Tallman House committee; serving on The Lippincott House committee and serving on the Friends of Percheron Park Board of Trustees.
Her drive to save endangered homes in Moorestown in the current environment of sky high home prices pushed her to create a think tank in February of 2024.
An important old home on Chester Avenue was threatened with possible demolition and subdivision of the lot. With a strong desire to save this all but doomed and beautiful home;
she invited incredible talent from among the ranks of Moorestonians to a round table at Bayada Headquarters. Together they created a process and financial tool that will benefit preservation minded buyers, and preserve important historical structures throughout town for the benefit of future generations.
