William Green Farmhouse to receive informational signs
The Friends of the William Green Farmhouse, a group devoted to protecting and restoring the historic building, have plans to place an informational sign on the fences near the farmhouse to inform passersby of the house's importance.
The sign will explain who William Green was, as well as why the house is an important as a historical building.
Green was one of the first judges in Hunterdon County, and several of his descendants served in the Civil War. The house itself, which was purchased by Green in the early 18th century has seen various additions over the years. It changed owners several times after the Green family until the College bought it in 1960.
