An interesting array of trips is being offered July through September by the Medford Senior Center, which is housed in historic Cranberry Hall. All of the trips will depart by school bus at 9:30 am from Bob Bende Park, located on the north side of Route 541, and will return at approximately 3:30 pm.

On July 9th trip participants will begin the day with an all inclusive breakfast at the famous Mastoris in Bordentown. They will next travel to Princeton to visit Drumthwacket, the official home of the governor of New Jersey. A guided tour will include six of the historic mansion’s public rooms which showcase New Jersey’s cultural heritage including its art, history, architecture and antiques. Guests are welcome to stroll through the gardens following the tour. The fee for transportation and the tour is $15 with $12.50 being collected the morning of the trip for the breakfast.

Seniors can spend a relaxing day in Haddonfield on August 13th. The trip will give participants an opportunity to discover why Haddonfield was recently voted by Philadelphia Magazine as one of the best places in which to live, shop and dine in the Delaware Valley. The fee for the trip is $15.

The Nemours Mansion in Wilmington, DE will be the destination on September 10th. Recently reopened to the public after undergoing a $39,000,000 renovation, the former 45,000 square foot home of Alfred I. duPont is an outstanding example of a French chateau. Following a guided tour of the mansion, a tram will take guests through the magnificent formal gardens. Lunch will be on your own in the cafeteria of the Alfred I. duPont Institute.
