A fascinating relic of 18th-century history, Covenhoven House in Freehold is interesting for its dual history. The magnificent mansion once belonged to a wealthy Dutch farmer, William Covenhoven, and was a prime example of the opulence of the time. In addition, British general Henry Clinton and his troops occupied the house just before the Battle of Monmouth. Many consider Covenhoven House to have been Clinton's Headquarters. Covenhoven has been beautifully restored with period furnishings, and a guide will take you through.
