The Story of an Old Road ( Internet Archive ). James Lane Pennypacker, a resident of Haddonfield, New Jersey, presented a paper in 1925 to the Camden County Historical Society describing the growth of Newton (later Haddon) Township through the transformation of an Indian (Lenni Lenape) trail into Kings Highway. This paper describes many of the historic events which took place from colonial times through the early 20th century along this road where the marker is located.
