John Reisner carefully assists individuals in preparing estate plans and administering estates of loved ones. He also helps individuals with buying and selling residential real estate.

For today, John talked to us about the 4 Haddonfields.  They are 4 distinct periods of time.

The First was the Colonial Period. The intersection of the road from Cooper's Ferry in Camden and the Kings Highway that ran from Burlington to Salem. The road end here. The Cooper river was navigable up to this point as well, so a town formed here and was named for John Haddon.

The Second was the Market Center from the mid 1800's to the early 1900's.The town had all of the important stores, plus trains to Philadelphia and Medford. So people came to shop, for food, and other things. they could also get to and from Philadelphia easily. Churches grow. In  1890 Haddonfield becomes an independent borough. With the advent of Malls, the 

The Third was the Suburban period. In the mid 1900's the street plans were filled out with houses

The Fourth period is now. We are evolving, so it is not yet finished. This phase is up to us and our friends .
