Barry Beck and I will be leading a ride after breakfast @ Harrison House in Mullica Hill

For details on the breakfast and to register to be included at the "Adults Table" please RSVP on Club Express!

All those who do not RSVP may not be seated at the "Adults Table" and may need to sit separately at the "Children's Table"

The ride will be to various historic sites which are connected to "New Sweden" including a visit to Shorn Cabin in Swedesboro which is the cabin represented on our club logo...

I am going to start putting up links to the sites we will be visiting after breakfast...

First stop will be "Death of the Fox" Tavern which has history back to the early 1700s

I am having difficulty in finding any official mention of our second stop which is across the road from St Francis Veterinary Hospital so this link of a photo is all I have...

It is a granite Mile Stone for King's Highway dated 1773 which at the time denoted the mileage to Coops (Coopers) Ferry which is now known as Camden and to Salem...

Kings Highway has a LOT of history!

Kings Highway was built to connect Charlestown South Carolina with Boston Mass... by decree of Charles II... King of England at the time. It is 1,300 miles long...

I did not know about the Schorn cabin in Swedesboro.

I think I was told before that the cabin at the Hancock house was where our club logo came from 🤔

I see our logo cabin has a chimney- the cabin at the Hancock house has one; the one in Swedesboro does not.

I will be out for breakfast but I will unfortunately not be able to take the ride as it is my niece's engagement party later that day so I won't have the time.

The sign in Swedesboro says:

Schorn Cabin... New Sweden Park...
