The Clifton Historical Committee and the Clifton Recreation Department invites you to an exciting trip to historical Haddonfield, New Jersey in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the USA and the signing of our Declaration of Independence.
- The day will begin at the Indian King Tavern Museum where we will meet with the museum’s curator. The Indian King Tavern Museum is almost 300 years old and nestled on Kings Highway, the main street in historic Haddonfield. It is New Jersey’s first state-owned historic site (acquired in 1903) and it is where New Jersey completed its transition from colony to state.
- Next we will walk over to the British Chip Shop for a British lunch.
- After lunch we will have some time to walk around the town to view some of the historic sculptures, shops and maybe catch a glimpse of New Jersey’s Dinosaur – Hadrosaurus that was first found in Haddonfield in 1858.
- The day will end at the Historical Society of Haddonfield, founded in 1914 and will include a presentation about the area and the time of the American Revolution.
