Gloucester County, New Jersey

Swedesboro

Visiting & Lodging

Swedesboro works especially well as a short historic-town visit: park once, walk Kings Highway, explore landmark sites, eat downtown and check the borough calendar for seasonal events.

What to see in Swedesboro

Historic downtown

Kings Highway

Historic register sites

Swedesboro highlights four major state/national-register resources: the John C. Rulon House, Richardson Avenue School, Trinity “Old Swedes” Church and the Van Leer/Mortenson Log Cabin.

Lodging

No traditional hotel was verified inside Swedesboro Borough. The closest conventional hotels are concentrated in neighboring Logan Township’s Pureland area. They may use “Swedesboro” in their mailing address, but they are outside the borough.
