Paulsdale

Paulsdale is a brick farmhouse in Mount Laurel Township with a two-story structure built in the 1840s, featuring a center hall and symmetrically arranged rooms. The building preserves its original architectural details and is now used by the Alice Paul Institute as a venue for exhibitions and education.

The Paul family purchased the estate in 1883 and made it a center for progressive thinking in a farming region. Alice Paul grew up here and developed the beliefs that later made her a leader in the women's suffrage movement.

The place is linked to the women's rights movement and shows how a rural family passed down their ideals across generations. Visitors see exhibitions today that document social reform and the fight for women's equality.

The property offers both guided tours and a self-guided outdoor audio tour that lets visitors explore at their own pace. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk the grounds, and be prepared for weather changes as some areas may be affected by rain or sun exposure.

The grounds span over 100 acres of agricultural land that still reflects the original farming structure of the region. The marked stations of the audio guide draw attention to this agricultural heritage and show how daily life unfolded here more than a century ago.
