Inside the @samuelfleminghouse1756 Museum & Gardens in Flemington, #NewJersey (formerly known as Fleming Castle). It was built by Samuel Fleming around 1756. It was also owned by the Bonnell and Miller families. In 1906, while the Miller family owned the house, the Lowrey Chapter of the DAR renamed the home Fleming Castle. In 1927, the home was deeded to the DAR and they occupied the 1860s addition to the home while the Miller family had life-rights to the older section. In 2005, the Borough of Flemington purchased the property from the DAR and the Friends of Fleming Castle was formed. In 2009, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to change the name to Samuel Fleming House, a more appropriate name for this historic house museum. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #history #archi_ologie #architecture #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #ushistory #americanhistory #explorenj #jerseycollective ##journeythroughjersey #flemington #flemingtonnj #samuelfleminghouse (at Samuel Fleming House Museum & Gardens)
