This fall, the Evesham Education Foundation invites students to celebrate creativity, community, and local history through our EEF Fall Coloring Contest, inspired by the historic Evans–Cooper House.
Students may color the page realistically, creatively, or in a completely imaginative way. The contest is open to current students in the Evesham Township School District, from Pre-K through 8th grade.
A Picture Inspired by Evesham’s Past
The coloring page offers an imaginative look at farm life surrounding the historic Evans–Cooper House, complete with barns, cows, apples, pumpkins, and EEF’s apple farmer.
Around 1800, John Evans likely built a small brick farmhouse on the property. As the Evans family grew, the house grew with them. New rooms were added, the kitchen was enlarged, and the roof was raised.
The farm later passed through the Evans and Cooper families, which is how the property became known as the Evans–Cooper House. During the late 1800s, the house gained many of the recognizable features seen today, including its tall mansard roof, dormer windows, bay windows, and wide wraparound porch.
Evesham Township purchased the property in 1975, and the Evans–Cooper House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The surviving house, barn, and architectural details continue to connect our community with generations of people who lived, worked, and grew up in Evesham.
