A National and New Jersey historic site, the Vanderveer House interprets 18th century Dutch-Colonial life through the Vanderveer and Knox families and underscores the Pluckemin Cantonment’s role in helping the Continental Army to defeat the British during the American Revolution. Visitors to the Jacobus Vanderveer House & Museum delight in seeing fully furnished period rooms and exhibits including The Kitchen Hearth Exhibit, The Vanderveer Parlor, The Knox Bedroom, The 1813 Main Parlor, and The Lumber Room.
