On February 2, 2016, the Medford Township Council ratified Resolution 50-2016, authorizing the renaming of “Cranberry Park” to “Still Park” in honor of the accomplishments and historical legacy of Dr. James Still, the “Black Doctor of the Pines.” The idea to recognize the important historical impact of Dr. James Still’s contributions to the community of Medford was initially presented by Mike Panarella and members of the Oversight Committee of the Dr. James Still Historic Site and Education Center and the Medford Historical Society. The idea was initially presented to Medford Township Council in October of 2015. Medford Township Council followed through with the idea to rename Cranberry Park to Still Park and later ratified the official resolution.
The formal dedication of Still Park was delayed due to Township plans to undertake comprehensive park improvements utilizing federal Community Development Block Grant funds administered by Burlington County along with Township Capital funds.
Dr. James Still (1812-1882) was an African-American renowned herbalist healer who practiced at his office on Church Road in Medford Township, next to a home he had built but has since been demolished. Dr. Still was often referred to as the “Black Doctor of the Pines.” He was one of 18 children born into poverty to his former enslaved parents, Levin and Charity Still. One of his famous brothers included the Philadelphia abolitionist and Underground Railroad conductor, William Still. James Still was primarily self-educated but became one of the wealthiest men in Burlington County, NJ. James Still persevered through poverty, prejudice and prospered through faith, modesty and frugality.
Dr. James Still loved his community and was an important historical figure who helped people of all races and backgrounds regardless of their circumstances. His autobiography is a testament to his contributions and impact on local Medford families which he helped during his time period.
The State of New Jersey purchased the property where Dr. Still’s office was located, which was the first official African-American historical site in the State. The Dr. James Still Historic Office Site and Education Center operates as a holding of the Medford Historical Society; a 501(c) non-profit organization under an Agreement with the State of NJ. It is a grass roots community-based organization which actively engages with the community by providing information to promote historical knowledge, education, and community relations.
We look forward to seeing you at the dedication of Still Park on November 17, 2018 at 11:00 am at 44 Charles Street in Medford, NJ. The Dr. James Still Historic Office and Education Center will also host an open house after the ceremony from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm The Dr. James Still Historic Office Site and Education Center is located at 211 Church Road in Medford.

Why Buy Local?
in Burlington County…
If each household in Burlington County spent just $10 more each month at Burlco businesses, the resulting annual impact to the local economy would be about $19.9 MILLION DOLLARS!
For every $100 spent locally in independently owned stores, shops and restaurants, $44 to $83 is re-circulated in the local economy. When $100 is spent in national chains, only $14 to $43 stays in the local economy.
How we all benefit by shopping Burlington County:
◆ Keep Burlington County's economy strong and growing.
◆ Embrace local businesses, which create 80% of new jobs and often provide better wages and benefits
◆ Save time and money and protect the environment. Shopping locally saves travel time and gas money
◆ Get great products and services at competitive prices at any of Burlington County's 8,000 one-of-a-kind, independent businesses
◆ Create a sense of community. Community groups get 350% more support from local business owners than non-locally owned businesses.
