Covenhoven House
150 W. Main Street, Freehold, NJ 07728
732-462-1466
William and Elizabeth Covenhoven built this impressive Georgian house in 1752-53. The main rooms have been furnished according to a 1790 inventory of William Covenhoven's estate. The house served as the headquarters of British General Sir Henry Clinton before the decisive battle at Monmouth Court House on June 28, 1778. Howe served in the British forces in the colony from 1775, and was appointed Commander in Chief of British forces in February 1778.
Covenhoven House is now maintained and interpreted by the Monmouth County Historical Association.
