The Lawnside Historical Society wanted to bring history to life for kids

Some kids in South Jersey got to use the dog days of summer to learn about an important part of our past -- attending a first-of-its-kind camp, visiting historical sites and retracing the steps of the Underground Railroad in New Jersey. The camp was at the Peter Mott House Museum, which served as a station along the Underground Railroad and safe house for slaves searching for freedom.
