The Barclay Farmstead

http://www.cherryhill-nj.com/barclay

FEATURES:

• federal style farmhouse with refurbished outbuildings

• Restored herb garden

• nature trails with access to Cooper River

• large community garden

• children’s playground

PROS: great location for every season -

• in the summer the community garden provides a colorful backdrop for photos (especially when the sunflowers start to bloom!)

• with springtime comes the budding of the pink white magnolia trees

• in fall the treetops glow bright yellow and orange

• in the winter the white snow contrasts the brick-red farmhouse beautifully

CONS:

• water settles here - if it’s rained at all within the past week or so be sure to wear water-resistant shoes!

• No public restrooms! Make sure you take care of business before headed to this site, or you’ll have to choose between a bright blue port-a-potty and a colonial-era wooden outhouse

FUN FACT: this location is a verified historical landmark and serves as a living history museum complete with tour guides in 17th century period costumes - tours are free for Cherry Hill residents!
