New Jersey’s Only Surviving Building From A Former King’s Estate Is Now A Fascinating History Museum

The restrooms at this little museum teach history. One is named for the Delaware River, and the other for Crosswicks Creek. Yep, even a bathroom break comes with a lesson. The building itself is the real headliner, though. It’s a modest gardener’s house, and it’s the only original structure left from an estate owned by a former king.

25 Historic Hudson Valley Estates and Mansions With Remarkable Stories

The Hudson Valley has been home to some of New York’s most remarkable country houses for more than three centuries. Long before the Gilded Age brought railroad fortunes, elaborate gardens, and grand weekend retreats to the river, colonial landowning families were establishing farms, trading centers, and estates along its banks.
