LINDENWOLD, 46.4 miles (85 alt., 2,523 pop.), is a town of commuters and workers in a nearby paint factory. It has a substantial Negro
section with two churches.
At 46.5 miles is the junction with a hard-surfaced road.
Left on this road is LAUREL SPRINGS, 0.7 mile (85 alt., 1,343 pop.), founded
in 1893, the year after Walt Whitman's death, when the few residents awoke to
the probability that the place would become well known because the poet came here
for his health. Whitman, during the spring of 1875, stayed with friends at the
STAFFORD HOUSE (private), Maple Ave. next to the firehouse. The two-and-one-half-story white frame farmhouse is the center of a celebration each May 31, the
anniversary of the poet's birth.
