Historic stone house from the early 1800’s. It is named for George Nelden who settled in Montague in 1820, and for the Roberts family who last owned the farm and the homestead located across the road. It was the “stone schoolhouse by George Nelden’s” as referred to in John D. Everitt’s Teaching Contracts of 1827 & 1828, where he taught an English day school. Over the years, it has also served as a home to many families. The house still sports its original wide-wood plank flooring, fireplace, and deep windows. Many items on display help to visualize life in the area during the 19th century. Be sure to visit the herb garden, which is maintained as a community project by members of the Minisink Garden Club.
