About this Event

During your visit, our interpreters will share with you the history of this 18th century farm and the Craigs themselves. Admission is free.

The earliest part of the Craig House was built in 1746 and enlarged in the 1770's. The Craig House barn dates to about 1840 and is probably built on the site of the earlier barn, which was most likely used as a hospital during and after the Battle of Monmouth. In 1965, the State of New Jersey purchased the property and, with the help of the Friends of Monmouth Battlefield, have been restoring the house and barn.

By 1993, the Craig House was restored to its Revolutionary War appearance. Much of the building’s original construction can still be seen, including brick filled walls and adze marks on the ceiling beams. In addition, some of the paneling in the parlor is original, as are the door to the milk room and most of the upstairs floor planks. The fireplaces have been rebuilt, and the round-butted exterior shingles have been replaced in their original style.
