The Springfield Historical Society will conduct an Open House of the Historic Cannon Ball House, 126 Morris Avenue, Springfield, NJ 07081 from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, June 26, 2016.
The Cannon Ball House is one of four homes that was not burned during retreat by the British after the Battle of Springfield on June 23, 1780, and the only house open to the public. Admission is $2 for adults (18+). Children are free when accompanied by an adult.
Established in 1955, the mission of the Springfield Historical Society is to preserve the Historic Cannon Ball House, its artifacts and archives, and to educate the public on the rich history of Springfield. We invite you to join us in helping to restore and preserve this wonderful 270+ year old house. It was spared when the defeated British burned the rest of the village (ask us why-and whose cannon ball ended up in the wall?) It made it through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and we need help to ensure the house survives the 21st.
