The Parker Homestead is one of the oldest houses in New Jersey and represents 330 years of continuous use by one family from 1665 to 1996. The property was bought in 1665 by Quaker brothers Peter and Joseph Parker. Much of the Parkers’ family photos, personal letters and postcards, baseball cards, books, and other belongings were left behind at Parker Homestead for future residents and visitors to enjoy. The property includes a large farmhouse, three barns, town garden, and sweet potato farm.
