930 West Front Street, Red Bank, NJ
OPEN HOUSE

Sunday, May 5th from 12:00 noon to 4:00pm
Navesink Maritime Heritage Association welcomes you to its Headquarters, the Grover House, during your Weekend in Old Monmouth Tours. Visit this historic 1730s farmhouse to learn about the home’s history and present use, and how historic preservation goes hand in hand with community projects.
There will be tours of the house, coffee, and you can purchase NMHA merchandise!
The building is ADA accessible, including the bathroom.
Grover House is #22 on the Blue Tour Route, along with Monmouth Boat Club, #21 and some other historic houses.
NMHA Trustees, NMHA members, and volunteers have renovated two rooms to become the main meeting room and a small kitchen and ADA bathroom, (all with heat, light, plumbing!). The hallway will be renovated to house a small collection of Grover Family memorabilia and some information on the Grover House structure and family history. This is a work in progress and will be expanded over time. The current project is the renovation of the main living room to become a library, social center, and relaxing space.
Grover House is on the National and New Jersey Registers of Historic Places, and successive generations of the Grover family played important roles in the founding of Monmouth County as farmers and traders, including one who became the first clerk of Middletown Township, and another a NJ Legislator.
