The various Lucky 7 waymarks created & being created as well as supporting listings are all pretty much in a triangular area or at Wellwood Memorial Park. This main area is very compact, unique & historic. This Lucky 7 focuses on that area.

Merchantville is lucky in its large number of beautifully maintained homes evoking a lost era of Victorian suburban living in a manor of Andrew Jackson Downing and others. The active Merchantville Historical Society has prepared a lovely walking tour of the Cattell Tract and The Oaks in Merchantville which are registered in both state and National Historic Registers. I'd say the historical society pretty much keeps this area together and alive. Although there are no Victorian Houses in this waymark or the business district, some of the structures were erected during the Victorian era and have certain Victorian traits. And so, without further ado, here is a list of my seven waymarks, in descending category order.
