From cafes that feel like a step into Southern Italy to farmhouses that feel like a step back in time, there’s so much to do in Camden County.
Cherry Hill
This 200-year-old farmhouse and the surrounding 32 acres offer a step back in time with monthly public tours and living history demonstrations of life on a South Jersey farm. Tours are offered on Wednesdays from noon to four and the first Sunday of each month from 1 to 4 pm from March to November. Tours cost $5 for non-residents.
Collingswood
Collingswood’s newest cafe transformed a firehouse into an Italian paradise with large garage doors, world-class coffee and delicious pastries. Come for the caffeine boost, stay for a glimpse of the 2005 Ducati and a rest on the striped lounge chairs.

You’ve probably seen the iconic “Haddy” statue on Haddonfield’s Kings Highway – a replica of the dinosaur found in town almost 200 years ago.

Just a few blocks away, in Pennypacker Park, is the site where William Foulke discovered the world’s first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton.
