Navesink Maritime Heritage Association welcomes you to its Headquarters, the Grover House, during your Weekend in Old Monmouth Tour. 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, and there is on-site parking.
The Monmouth County Historical Commission has scheduled A Weekend in Old Monmouth, a self-guided tour of more than 50 historic sites and museums in Monmouth County, for the first weekend in May. We are pleased to announce that Grover House will be open for A Weekend in Old Monmouth on Saturday, May 3rd from 10:00am - 5:00pm and Sunday, May 4th from 12 noon to 5 pm. Whether you want to volunteer to be a docent at Grover House or learn more about the Grover Family and NMHA, put A Weekend in Old Monmouth on your calendar.
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 New Jersey Legislator.
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 is being renovated to house a small collection of Grover Family memorabilia, some information on the Grover House structure, and Grover family history. This is a work in progress and will be expanded over time. Also undergoing renovation are the remaining two rooms; one will be a large meeting room and the other NMHA's library and social space
