Reviews
"We've been to Haddonfield so many times but didn't discover this place until meeting them at the Collingswood book fair. So for us this was a real hidden gem. If you're interested in the Revolutionary War era it's worth a visit. It's worth a visit even if you're not. Good stop for the whole family."
"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."
"Great historic site very interesting. The tour guide did a great job."
"This was an interesting historical place to visit. The docent described the history of the house and its role as the meeting site of the NJ Assembly during the Revolutionary war. The rooms were interestingly decorated in the style of the Revolutionary period, as well."
"We were hoping to visit here on a Saturday afternoon, but when we arrived, there was a sign hanging on the door that said "tour in progress. Thanks for waiting". So we at down on the benches outside. After about 45 minutes, we gave up and got on things. So, my rating is solely based on a bit of disappointment. When I do get to go inside, I will update. I suppose I will also call ahead to make sure no private tours are scheduled. From what I could see, this looks like a very interesting place to visit. I definitely will return."
