Dating to about 1715 and once attached to a structure that was built in 1693, the Griffith Morgan is one of the oldest stone houses in Camden County. It offers open-hearth cooking demonstrations in the fall and a popular "Mother's Day Tea" each May. Located off River Road near the Betsy Ross Bridge, the house stands near the intersection of the Delaware River and Pennsauken Creek. Restored as a community project in the 1970s and maintained by the Griffith Morgan Committee, the house's special events are staffed by docents in period dress. The house has been restored to the way it would have looked in the 1770s. Its three stories contain both reproductions and authentic artifacts from life along the Delaware at a time when nearby Philadelphia was the first capital of a newly-independent nation.
There is no need to go inside the gate or to trespass on the vacant lot next to the Griffith Morgan House. The no trespassing that is spray painted on the drive way is for the vacant lot next door. They've had a problem with people dumping trash on the lot. Please be respectful of the area. Thanks and Have fun!
