Bordering on bizarre and maybe even a bit macabre, Cave of Kelpius is a small but one of a kind attraction in Fairmount Park. This man-made cave belongs to the 17th century, when a group of monks formed a cult, predicting the end of the world. They hid here waiting for the end of times, and this history gives the place tremendous importance.
Duffy's Cut is a stretch of railroad built for the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad in 1832. This area is infamous for the death of 57 Irish workers who were hired by Railroad contractor Philip Duffy. Pennsylvania state historical marker was dedicated near the site in 2004 commemorating the Irish workers who lost their lives due to Cholera.
The discovery of the first complete dinosaur skeleton in Haddonfield in 1858 was the beginning of a new era. For the first time, people other than scientists were interested in finding out more about the long-extinct reptiles that walked on the same ground as we did. The skeleton was discovered in a ravine in New Jersey and the specimen was named Hadrosaurus Foulkii. In 2003, a bronze statue was erected to commemorate the discovery. The Haddonfield Dinosaur Sculpture was created by John Giannotti. The statue is 2.4 meters (8 feet) tall and 5.4 meters (18 feet) long. The statue has since been a popular tourist attraction. The actual site of the discovery is marked by a plaque and a stone, but is difficult to access as it is at the bottom of the ravine. If you are somewhere around Haddonfield and are fascinated by dinosaurs, you should check out the Haddonfield Dinosaur Sculpture.
