What Is The Most Famous Home In New Jersey?
One expert who knows a thing or two about homes has chosen the most famous one in New Jersey.
There are so many possible answers to the question of which home is the most famous in the Garden State.
New Jersey's Most Famous Home
When people like Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Thomas Edison, Meryl Streep, Whitney Houston, and Jack Nicholson have lived here, it's hard to narrow it down to one.
But the house that has been chosen by Bob Vila on his website as the most famous in New Jersey has nothing to do with a celebrity and has everything to do with politics.
No, it's not the home of a small child who would one day become president, and it's not the retirement home of a former one.
New Jersey's Most Famous Home Is Very Political
It's the current mansion of the governor of New Jersey, a sprawling estate known as Drumthwacket.
The history of the Governor's Mansion and the land it stands on is impressive. The property was once owned by the founder of Pennsylvania and is the land on which the Princeton Battle for American Independence took place in 1777, according to The Drumthwackett Foundation.
