In 1777 it was the site where at a meeting of the New Jersey Legislature adopted its Great Seal. The Indian King Tavern was the first State Historic Site, with its adoption in 1903. Taverns were centers of commercial and social life, so Haddonfield residents gathered frequently at the tavern; and in the increasing tensions between the British Empire, represented by Loyalists, and the Patriots, heated debates were held in this tavern. These debates put the lives of both those arguing and the owners of such places in jeopardy. The tavern was alternately occupied by British, Hessians and Continental troops as the revolution ravaged parts of the state. Patriot generals Anthony Wayne, the Marquis de Lafayette and the Polish Count Casimir Pulaski all marched along Kings Highway, and the Indian King Tavern, being the largest and most prominent at the time, would have been used by these men for meetings, lodging and recreation.Original file name 3763502206_98481e3208_o (2).jpg4368x2912Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
