Abstract
Description
Rockingham is believed to be the 2nd oldest house in the Millstone River Valley. The first section was built around 1710 and was greatly expanded in the 1760s by John Berrien, a prominent NJ Superior Court justice and State legislator. At its peak, the property comprised over 350 acres and served as a gentleman's farm. Final touches of a second-story porch and attic were added in the early 1800s by the Cruser family. The house was moved three times to save it from an encroaching quarry, beginning in 1897. The original site was about one-mile NNE from its present location.
