The Van Veghten House is a historic building in the Finderne section of Bridgewater Township, New Jersey. It was built around 1725 and served as the headquarters of Quartermaster General Nathanael Greene during the second Middlebrook encampment (1778–79) in the American Revolutionary War.[3][4] The Somerset County Historical Society owns the house and uses it as its headquarters, including a museum and library.[5] The early 18th-century Old York Road passed by here connecting Philadelphia to New York City.[6] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 10, 1979 and noted as representing "one of the few remaining Raritan River mansions".[3]
