Lost Haddonfield: Hopkins Pond
Ever hear about the car that floated like a boat on Hopkins Pond before the driver got out and walked over the water? You will today in Lost Haddonfield.
In 1789, a stream now known as Hopkins Mill Branch was dammed to provide waterpower for Hopkins Grist Mill.
The stream originates near the southwest corner of Chestnut Street, and is now piped underground, and emerges at Grove Street. Over the years, the pond was also known as Silver Lake.
