These two houses, located on Stokes Road, are the last remaining houses from the village of Cross Keys/Fairview.
In 1777 a tavern known as Cross Keys was run by Benjamin Thomas according to Charles Boyer in the book “Old Inns and Taverns of West Jersey”. Later a school, hotel, sawyer, and a blacksmith were also located in Cross Keys.
Later, that area became known as Fairview.

In 1891, Anna Kelley, applied to Washington, D.C. for a Post Office. She chose Fairview and then Cross Keys as the name for the post office, but both names had already been taken. She then selected the name Maple. The Maple Post Office opened in Fairview on June 12, 1891 according to the book “The Post Towns of Burlington County, New Jersey 1797-2002”. The post office closed in 1894.

At the time of the application she claimed the area had a population of 150 persons.

Over time most of the buildings were torn down and the school house was moved to Mill Street and is maintained by the Medford Historical Society.
