Parker Homestead, Historic homestead in Little Silver, New Jersey, US.
The Parker Homestead features the main house constructed around 1720 and three additional barns spread across 11 acres of land.
The settlement originated in 1667 when Joseph and Peter Parker, descendants of Shrewsbury Township patentees, established their residence in the area.
The property represents early European settlement patterns and agricultural practices through its preserved structures and historical documentation from colonial times.
The homestead welcomes visitors to explore the grounds and participate in educational programs that demonstrate life during New Jersey's early settlement period.
Julia Parker, the last descendant of the original settlers, transferred ownership to the borough in 1995 to ensure its preservation for future generations.
