Free Wheel, Cherry Hill Township’s first public sculpture, reflects the history and heritage of Croft Farm as both the site of a successful milling industry and a station along the Underground Railroad. Created entirely of steel, it stands over 10 feet high and weighs more than 6,500 pounds. Its creation from raw metal into a work of art was considerable, with obstacles and challenges at every step. Mayor Bernard A. Platt, Town Council, artist Peter Trout Gard, and members of the Cherry Hill Art Advisory Board Sculpture Committees dedicated it on October 26, 2003, and it endures as a reminder of the significance of Cherry Hill’s history.
