Smith-Cadbury Mansion
12 High Street, Moorestown, NJ 08057
None
The Smith-Cadbury Mansion was built in 1738 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for its significant architecture and military history. In 1777, during the Revolutionary War, the home hosted French officer Marquis de Lafayette and was taken over by the Hessians during the British retreat from Philadelphia in 1778. The most well-known resident of the home was Edward Harris II, a famous ornithologist and friend of John James Audubon. Harris is also responsible for introducing the Percheron Horse breed to the United States. Today, the Smith-Cadbury Mansion serves as the headquarters of the Historical Society of Moorestown.
