Campbell-Christie House

The Campbell-Christie House is a stone building in River Edge with rooms and a kitchen from the 18th century. The structure features a distinctive gambrel roof and has been preserved to show visitors what daily life was like during that period.

A stonemason named Jacob Campbell built this house in 1774 and operated it as a tavern. The building was part of community life during the period of the American Revolution.

The house reflects how families lived and worked in the region centuries ago. Visitors can see the rooms as they were and learn about the everyday objects and routines of that time.

The house opens for special events and demonstrations where visitors can learn more about the past. It is helpful to check ahead for when guided visits or special events are happening to make the most of your visit.

A child born in this house later developed innovations in automobile design and early submarine construction. These technological inventions were remarkable for their time and show a surprising link between a simple home and major technical advances.
