Along the Delaware River, notable sites include the Griffith Morgan House, a circa 1693 native sandstone farmhouse that may be the oldest surviving house in Camden County and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, maintained as a public historic site by a volunteer organization, and open for regularly scheduled events and by appointment; Palmyra Cove Nature Park, which extends from Pennsauken Creek to the Tacony Palmyra Bridge and includes 125 acres of upland with scattered ponds supporting species such as the Gray Tree Frog, Fowler's and American Toads, Red Fox, and Great Horned Owls, as well as 125 acres of freshwater tidal wetland at its southern end; the Disston & Sons Complex, a former saw factory where Henry Disston & Sons, for more than 100 years America's leading saw maker, crafted saws from raw materials to finished product, with old grindstones from saw manufacture still visible on the shoreline at Unruh Street; and the Riverton Yacht Club, which began operating on July 1, 1865, is the oldest yacht club on the Delaware River, and the ninth oldest in the United States.
