Codington House

The Codington Farmstead, encompassing 55 acres with farmhouse dating back to 1742, was built by Issac Codington in Mount Horeb (now Warren Township.) The house is the oldest structure in NJ that was owned and operated continuously by the same family (Codingtons) from 1742 to 2003, when Lora Codington, known locally as the Somerset County "Peach Lady" and the last in her family line, passed away.

Identified as one of the original Warren families when Warren Twp. was established in 1806, the Codingtons also founded the Mt. Horeb ME Church (1820), and rebuilt it after it burned down in 1866; they fought in all of America's wars, from the French and Indian War through WWII and Desert Storm. The last Codington resident provided several million dollars to three Methodist churches in 2003.

The Codington House, expanded in 1780, 1820 and 1870, is now owned by Warren Twp. The house has furnishings and decorative arts spanning the 18th century to 2003 with a rich family history on exhibit from this entire period. The house and farmstead have been restored by the Friends of the Codington Farmstead.
