On Sunday, April 7, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., both Burrough-Dover House and Griffith Morgan House in Pennsauken will be open to welcome the community for history and fun with tours, access to the museums and libraries of each house, hospitality, and something special! A very unusual program is planned at Griffith Morgan House, when the Pennsauken Historical Society welcomes the New Jersey Researchers of Paranormal Evidence to reveal the results of the first-ever investigation of Pennsauken’s two homes for history. Conducted simultaneously at both houses over two nights last year using sophisticated equipment, this investigation has gathered a variety of data for analysis and interpretation. Also, plans are being made to follow up with additional investigative opportunities for members of the public.

The presentation of the findings will take place at 2:00 p.m. at Griffith Morgan House, with tours of the old house offered both before and after the program. Light refreshments will also be offered.

Burrough-Dover House will also be open and offering tours from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., so you can enjoy your visit to the historic house, museum, and beautiful grounds by daylight, and return on a future evening for a scientific glimpse into the spirit world, if you choose.

Admission and tours of the historic homes is free and so is the paranormal report program at Griffith Morgan House. There is also plenty of free parking at both sites.

Griffith Morgan House is located at 243 Griffith Morgan Lane, off River Rd. between Delair and Rt. 73. Burrough-Dover House is located at 9201 Burrough-Dover Lane, off Haddonfield Rd. opposite the Wyndam Rd. traffic light.
