"This barn housed horses awaiting sale," according to Cliff Brunker of the Historical Society of Haddonfield. "It was located in the rear of the 60s on Centre Street on the edge of what is now the borough parking lot."
"These horses were being moved down Centre Street onto what today is Kings Court," according to Cliff Brunker of the Historical Society of Haddonfield.
"From what is now Kings Court, horses proceed onto Kings Highway and perhaps down to the stables and blacksmith shop, which were located at what is now the parking lot off Mechanic Street," according to Cliff Brunker of the Historical Society of Haddonfield.

I enjoy these treasures, too and my love of horses makes me especially fond of these photos. I am intrigued by the two photos of the horses being led to Mechanic Street...full harness and traces on the lead team and the rear team...just bridles on the others....they certainly were well-mannered horses!
