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 current grant will help fund restoration of the farmhouse and rehabilitation of the wagon sheds for use as classrooms. The earlier grant helped fund a site master plan and National Register nomination.
