John Neilson House and Farm

History Now

John Neilson, who farmed this land, cast his lot with the Patriot cause. The building you see is a restoration of his original home. By mid-September 1777, the American Army had taken over Neilson’s house and barn, and enclosed much of his farm within its defenses.

Marker can be reached from Park Tour Road, on the left when traveling south.
