The Isaac Pearson House

Built by Isaac Pearson, a prominent political figure during the Revolutionary War era, the house exemplifies Georgian architecture with its symmetrical design. Pearson held various local offices, including tax collector, justice of the peace, and delegate to the New Jersey Provincial Congress. His ambiguous political stance during the Revolution led to his death in 1776 under mysterious circumstances, possibly at the hands of Continental Army soldiers. The house remained in the Pearson family for nearly a century and is listed on both the National and New Jersey Registers of Historic Places.
