What is the William Green Farm House?

The William Green Farm House, built in 1720, is located right on the TCNJ campus. A student and faculty research committee conduct projects on Green family genealogy, archaeological excavations, and 3D object documentation. The team places an emphasis on investigating the possible presence and role of enslaved persons on the property in an effort to preserve their historical narrative and educate the community.
