Village

Harbourton Store - 1768
This structure was built in 1768 as a dwelling which housed a kitchen in its cellar. Soon after being built, a second free-standing frame structure was built to the east. Then early in the 19thC, the gap between the two was connected by a third frame structure.
This dwelling was also used as a tavern. In the 1820s it was converted into a store. In 1875 a post office was added in the store. Both continued to function until the mid-20thC.

Ege-Dilts Farmstead - c.1760s
A stone dwelling probably built during the 1760s.

Hart House - first quarter 19thC
Probably built during the first quarter of the 19thC. A tavern was also operated in this dwelling.

Cornell-Hart Farmstead - early 19thC

Harbourton Baptist Church
A church was first built on this site in 1805 [Second Baptist Church of Hopewell]. This original structure was replaced c.1880 by the frame building still standing. In 1973 the church became Luthern and it later served briefly as the Grace Baptist Church.

Harbourton School House - 1915
The third Harbourton schoolhouse was built around 1915, following two earlier ones at this crossroads.

Marshall's Corner [Furman's Corner] - early 18thC

[Furman's Corner] Marshall's Corner
During the 18th & early 19thC this crossroads village was named Furman's for the family that built the stone & frame house at its center. This crossroads had formerly been two early Indian paths.
In the 1830s the name was changed when William Marshall bought the Furman house and took over the operation of the village store opposite the dwelling.
George Washington & his troops passed here in 1778 on their way to the Battle of Monmouth.

Furman/Marshall House - c.1725
Samuel, Josiah, & Johnathan Furman came to Hopewell from Long Island during the early 18thC. The stone section of this dwelling is undoubtedly 18thC; the frame section was added in the early 19thC.

18thC schoolhouse
Proably built of stone around 1720. This was later the site of the village store.

Second schoolhouse site
Around 1820 the original schoolhouse location was abandoned and a new school was built on the northeast side of the intersection. The present building is the second on this site.

First store
Built during the 1820s on the site of the first school. Remained functional into the 20thC. The building was destroyed in the 1920 when the village intersection was widened.

site of first schoolhouse - c.1820

Mount Rose Distillery - mid-19thC
During the 18thC, distilling of apples into cider and whiskey was done on many farms in the Hopewell Valley. The most notable of the 19thC stills was the Mount Rose Distillery operated by the Drake family.
A still house was functionin here by the mid-19thC and remained active into the 20thC. A portion of this distillery complex, a two-story brick structure said to have been the office, is standing today. The actual still house was apparently located a short distance to the south of this building on the opposite side of Honey Brook.
