Burrough-Dover House Hosts “Colonial Earth Day” On May 6
By Robert Fisher-Hughes, AAP Columnist and Amateur Historian
This month, wildlife and watersheds, woodcraft, and other matters of the historical environment of Pennsauken and its neighbors are the themes to be explored at the colonial home on the bank of Pennsauken Creek, where the Burrough family first settled in 1710.
The Burrough-Dover House itself is the first image of our ancestral relationship to the natural world: built from natural, local sandstone and timbers felled at the site and still standing more than 300 years later; a true example of sustainability. How many more lessons of environmental significance can we learn in a day by the creek and the woods on the site of the historic colonial farm? Find out at the annual “Colonial Earth Day” event on Sunday, May 6, from noon to 4:00 p.m.
