WATSON HOUSE

Star Bullet Watson House, headquarters of the New Jersey State Society of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), was restored by the New Jersey DAR as part of the New Jersey Tercentenary Celebration in 1964. This fine stone house built by Isaac Watson in 1708, is recognized as the oldest house in Mercer County. Built on a bluff overlooking Watson’s Creek, the house is located in John A. Roebling Park, a 200 acre sanctuary near the center of Trenton.
