DescriptionThe Jacobus Vanderveer House. Built c. 1754 by Jacobus Vanderveer, an early Dutch settler who had extensive landholdings along the North Branch of the Raritan. Vanderveer gave the land for the first and second sanctuaries of the Bedminster church, and also for the cemetery. General Henry Knox and his wife, Lucy, stayed at this house in the winter of 1778-1779 when the Continental Artillery was camped on the mountain above Pluckemin. Photo by Dr. John B. Beekman about 1890.
