This historic marker is located on Greentree Road just before the Cherry Hill border. I have been driving by it for years but for some reason never noticed it before. It looks pretty darn expensive.

There are two gigantic homes built where the farmstead once was. The farmstead burned in 1998. The area is hidden by pine trees. I remember the farmhouse but I never took any pictures. I wish I had.
The two families referenced in the marker name are original families which settle this area hundreds of years ago.
