This place is listed on a tavern license from Camden County in 1845, which states that it was in Union Township at that time. The name of the tavern may have been the Buena Vista House, and at one point it was run by the Wills family.

According to another visitor to this site, the tavern in question is Hugg's Tavern, built on Gloucester Point in 1750. This information was provided him by the Gloucester County Historical Society:

Hugg's Tavern was the place of the annual meeting of the West jersey Proprietors since 1687, headquarters of Gloucester County Fox Hunting Club, organized 1766, and the oldest hunting club in America. Famed City Troop of Philadelphia sprang from this organization. Betsey Griscomb and John Ross were married here, Nov 4, 1773.

This was a meeting place for committees of Old Gloucester County. One nearby site was original court house of Old Gloucester County. This city was the county seat for 100 years.

This was also the headquarters of General Lord Cornwallis during the seige of Gloucester Town in 1777. This tavern was demolished in 1929 to make way for a county park.

Additionally:
This Tavern sat on the Delaware River, just across from the city of Philadelphia. In it's earliest days, people would row across from the city for political meeting here.

At the Gloucester County Historical Society Library in Woodbury, NJ, the original fire place (Elizabeth and John Ross stood here to be married) is in the basement of the Historical Society's building.

I was told by them that before this old Inn was torn down, they numbered all the bricks and took that fireplace apart. They then were able to reconstruct it at it's new home there in Woodbury.
