Walk-In Tours At Rockingham State Historic Site
Step back in time to 1783 and experience the life of General George Washington and Lady Washington while they resided at Rockingham between August 23, 1783 to November 10, 1783.
Rockingham is believed to be the second oldest house in the Millstone River Valley, its original rooms built about 1710. The house was originally a two-story, two-room frame house with a one and one-half story lean-to at its back, situated high on a rocky hillside above the river. The house and about 100 acres were purchased by 1735 by John Berrien, who later served as Somerset County Judge, Trustee for the College of New Jersey (present day Princeton University), New Jersey Supreme Court Justice and Colony Assemblyman.
The tours include the first and second floor of the historic house. At the beginning of a tour please inform the docent/tour leader of inability to climb the stairs and accommodation will be made to the best of our ability. Photography, (including videotaping), candy, food & drink are not permitted in the historic house.
