Jacobs Chapel Colemantown Foundation, located in Mount Laurel, NJ, is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the Underground Railroad, with its site including Jacobs Chapel and the Colemantown Meeting House, both significant stops for runaway slaves. The foundation honors the legacy of notable figures such as Dr. James Still, a self-taught herbalist and prominent black doctor in the 19th century, whose contributions to the community are well-documented.
In addition to maintaining historical sites, the foundation offers educational programs, including Underground Railroad tours and reenactments, which are incorporated into local school curricula. The buildings and grounds are recognized on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, and ongoing efforts are aimed at enhancing awareness of Colemantown's historical significance.
