Historic Site Management Grant

$50,000
Grant Recipient:
Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance
County:
Hunterdon
Municipality:

Dvoor Farmstead contains 40 acres of land and seven farm buildings. The oldest building on the farm is a Georgian-styled residence constructed in the 1790s. Also of note are the mid-nineteenth century bank barn and an early twentieth-century milking barn. The farmstead is important as an example of the development of agriculture in Hunterdon County. While the house is in good condition, the outbuildings range from poor to fair condition.
The grant will help fund preparation of a site master plan that will guide restoration and adaptive reuse of the farm and farm buildings. A major component of the plan is the completion of a feasibility and market analysis including identification of additional project stakeholders, long-term sustainability, and identification of fundraising/revenue sources. The project also includes completion of a National Register nomination.
