01 / THE STORY BEGINS

More than a
prehistoric story.

In 1858, a discovery in Haddonfield helped change the way the world understood dinosaurs. Today, Haddy — our much-loved dinosaur sculpture — keeps that spirit of wonder alive.

THE HADROSAURUS STORY
02 / A GROUNDBREAKING DISCOVERY

A dinosaur that
made history.

In 1858, William Parker Foulke excavated fossil remains in Haddonfield. Scientist Joseph Leidy later described the animal as Hadrosaurus foulkii, one of the most influential early dinosaur discoveries in North America.

Its story still connects science, curiosity, and the place we call home.
