The Freehold Township Heritage Society takes pride in promoting the history
and physical remnants of our past.
The Freehold Township Township Heritage Society is dedicated to raising funds for
the preservation of historic buildings in Freehold Township.
The Oakley Farm Museum was operated by the Oakley family since 1911. The
original house dates back to 1686. It is one of the few houses left standing
after
the Battle of Monmouth, as its owners at the time were loyalists. It is said
that the house was a stopping off point for the Underground Railroad. The house
was accepted
for inclusion on the state of New Jersey & the National Registers of Historic
Places in 1990.
