Know Before You Go

Today, the Wallace House is owned by the State of New Jersey and has been preserved as a historic house museum for more than a century. The building has undergone restoration to maintain its 18th-century appearance and interpret its significance during the Revolutionary War. Operated in cooperation with the Friends of the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association, the site offers visitors a glimpse into the wartime and domestic life of General Washington and his inner circle. Through tours and exhibits, the house highlights its role as both a military headquarters and a social center during a pivotal chapter of the Revolution.
