I visited Cherry Hill while it was under renovations and cant wait to return when it's complete. The history alone is worth the trip. The number of artifacts is incredible! I thank the 5 generations who lived in the home for being horders. So many interested items. I could tell there were spirits in the house, but nothing obvious to... More

I've been to Cherry Hill twice. It was OK the first time, but just boring the second. It's just an old house with old artifacts like stoves, furniture, etc. Not really worth the admission price.
