Haddonfield, Camden County, New Jersey The town where William lived & died.
Settled by Europeans more than 300 years ago, Haddonfield, New Jersey, is one of North America's oldest towns. Located a short distance east across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The main street -- Kings Highway -- was originally a wagon trail named in honor of the British monarchs that once ruled the area. Many of the buildings -- such as the famed Indian King Tavern -- date to the same period and have an ambiance not unlike that of similar structures in Williamsburg or Annapolis. The town also played a role in the American Revolution; its Quaker cemetery holds the remains of British soldiers who died in battle against George Washington's forces more than two centuries ago. In the 1850s Haddonfield was a vacation spot for well-heeled Philadelphians who fled the heat and odors of the city in summer. Ferrying across the Delaware River, they clopped their horses and buggies along dirt roads through cool woods until they reached the hamlet of Haddonfield, with its rambling cottages along the banks of Hopkins Pond and Cooper River. A nineteenth-century clock marks the center of Haddonfield's shopping district. Many of the borough's streets are virtual museums of American architecture. Haddonfield played a special role in the history of dinosaur discovery. The first nearly-complete dinosaur skeleton was excavated from a marl pit here in 1858 -- an event that also established the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia as the world's leading center for paleontological studies for the rest of the nineteenth century.
Next to city hall is the home of Civil War-era physician Napoleon Bonaparte Jennings. Rich in "gingerbread" trim, it dates to 1857. (He could of been the Goldy family physician)
