Burrowes Mansion Museum

The Burrowes Mansion Museum, built in 1723, is a stunning example of Georgian-style architecture and was the home of "The Corn King," John Burrowes. The mansion has a rich history, including being the site of a Tory raid in 1776 and the mustering of the first company of New Jersey militia for the Revolutionary War. The museum is open for visits on the first and third Sundays of the month from March through December, with special tours available for groups or classes by appointment. Operated by the Matawan Historical Society, the museum features period rooms, antiques, and local memorabilia, and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings.
