Open House, “Frost On The Pumpkin” This Month At Pennsauken’s Historic Homes
Information Provided By The Pennsauken Historical Society
We hope that all residents were able to come out and enjoy the experience of living history at the Griffith Morgan House and Burrough-Dover House last month! October was history month in Camden County, and there were over 80 events hosted by the Camden County History Alliance.
History is just as plentiful in November at Pennsauken Historical Society! Our first Sunday open house will be held on Nov. 6 at Burrough-Dover House from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. The house will be opened for tours and historical conversations. There will also be activities for children that have a harvest theme.
We will be hosting our annual “Frost on the Pumpkin” event on Saturday, Nov. 19, at our Griffith Morgan House. From 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., guests will get to experience living history with demonstrations of old-time chores and activities. The house will be open for tours, and historical discussions as well!
“First Sunday” Events At Pennsauken’s Historic Homes Continue In June And July
By Robert Fisher-Hughes, AAP Columnist and Amateur Historian
On Sunday, June 3, the very fabric of our nation will be celebrated at both Griffith Morgan House and Burrough-Dover House in very different ways!
Historic Homes Open For Independence Day Celebration
Both the Burrough-Dover House, 9201 Burrough-Dover Lane; and Griffith Morgan House, 243 Griffith Morgan Lane off River Rd., will be open to the public for an Independence Day celebration on Sunday, July 2 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. What could be more patriotic than a visit to our colonial past?
Both houses will be open for free guided tours and the lovely grounds of both sites are perfect for a picnic and outdoor play. Plenty of free parking is available at both houses.
