Notes The historic Indian King Tavern, at Haddonfield, N.J., is locally known as the "New Jersey Independence Hall." It was here that, upon March 18th, 1777, the Council of Safety for New Jersey met and where, also, in the following September, the Legislature formally created the state. The building was erected in 1750. In recent years the property was bought by the state and is now maintained, in charge of a commission, as a depository of Revolutionary relics and documents. This drawing was copied from a sketch made before the restorations were undertaken by the state authorities.
