Description
Barclay Farm House is a brick and stone farmhouse built in 1816 on a large rural property in New Jersey. The building has a straightforward layout with practical rooms arranged around central spaces, set within open grounds bordered by trees and fields.
History
A Quaker farmer named Joseph Thorn built this residence in 1816 to house his family and farming operation. The property later gained recognition as a significant example of early settlement and agriculture in the region.

The farmhouse reflects how families organized their daily lives between domestic and work spaces in early South Jersey. Visitors can see the rooms where household tasks and farm management took place together.

Access is via a rural lane that is walkable or drivable from the main road nearby. The property is best explored on foot, and sturdy shoes are helpful for navigating the uneven grounds and pathways.

The original stone wall that borders the property dates back to Joseph Thorn's era and marks the farm's historic boundaries. This wall remains today as one of the oldest physical features of the original land division.
