    A Weekend in Old Monmouth

    at Grover House

    930 West Front Street, Red Bank, NJ

    OPEN HOUSE

    Saturday May 3rd from 10:00am to 5:00pm

    Sunday, May 4th from 12:00 noon to 5:00pm


    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.


    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.


    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
