Thomas Evans was one of the first Friends to settle in the Marlton area; in 1701, he signed a deed with Lenape leader King Himolin for a farm in what is now the Marlton area.[3] The property for a school was acquired in 1793 and the meetinghouse constructed in 1809. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[4]
An active Quaker congregation continues to worship in the building.
