Indian King Tavern Museum

It was a clear, crisp, Autumn day so we decided to drive to Haddonfield to visit their Indian King Tavern-Museum, and we were very happy that we did. The Docent was welcoming, very knowledgeable and quite willing to share her knowledge with us. The structure dates from before the Revolutionary War, around 1730 in its oldest section. It was divided into two main parts, one side being a brewery/tavern and the other side being a restaurant. Upstairs were the living quarters of the innkeeper and his family, several 'guest rooms' for overnight visitors, as well as a large 'all-purpose room' used for various gatherings and meetings; including one held by the New Jersey Legislature in 1777 when they adopted what became the State's Great Seal. Most of the accessories and furniture shown are period-replicas and are quite well done. The Museum is well worth a visit. There is available parking on the street and it is free on Sundays.
