Burrough-Dover House

The Burrough-Dover House is a stone dwelling from the early 1700s with original architectural features and a significant expansion added in 1793. The structure displays construction methods and materials typical of colonial New Jersey, with rooms arranged around a central fireplace.

The Burrough family built this residence in 1710 as one of the early dwellings in the Camden County area. The Dover family later occupied it for more than a century, shaping its development and role in the local community.

The house reveals how early settlers in the area lived and worked through its rooms and furnishings that reflect their daily routines. The Pennsauken Historical Society uses it to introduce visitors to colonial life through artifacts and local documents on display.

The house is located at 9201 Burrough Dover Lane and offers a mobile guide application for independent exploration of its rooms and grounds. Visitors should check ahead for access details, as this historic site may have limited visiting hours or special requirements.

The house preserves traces of more than 300 years within its stone walls, demonstrating how building techniques and living habits evolved across the centuries. This extended timeline makes it a rare example of material continuity in the region.
