Jacobus Vanderveer House
 

Between the Revolutinary War winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania (1777) and Morristown, New Jersey (1779), the Bedminster/Pluckemin area served as the Revolutionary War's winter encampment alongside Middlebrook. Called the Pluckemin Artillery Park, the Vanderveer House and the surrounding area became America's first military traning academy and the precursor to United States Military Academy at West Point.

The Vanderveer House is the last remaining structure from the 1778/1779 winter Cantonment, which has been fully restored and preserved.
Explore this rich area in revolutionary war history.
