Mortonson-Van Leer Log Cabin, Swedish-Finnish log cabin in Swedesboro, United States.
The cabin consists of a single room with cedar log walls and lime mortar caulk, featuring a solitary door without any windows.
Morton Mortenson, arriving from the Delaware Valley colony of New Sweden in 1654, constructed this cabin along the north bank of Raccoon River.
The Van Leer family, who owned the cabin, actively participated in the Underground Railroad movement, helping enslaved people reach free communities.
Located at the intersection of Church Street and Kings Highway, the cabin stands on the grounds of Trinity Episcopal Church cemetery in Swedesboro.
The great-grandson of builder Morton Mortenson, John Morton, became a Pennsylvania delegate who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
