The Beverwyck Site is located in Parsippany-Troy Hills Township; Morris County, New Jersey. The Beverwyck Site consists of the intact archaeological remains of residential buildings, agricultural outbuildings, and landscape features of Beverwyck, a mid-eighteenth to mid-twentieth century agricultural estate. Historically, part of a 2000(-f)-acre property, the Beverwyck Site (as identified by archaeological investigations to date) consists of the core area of the former Beverwyck estate. While the occupation of the estate spans the mid-eighteenth to mid-twentieth century, the height of the estate's prosperity was reached during the fourth quarter of the eighteenth century. Between 1772 and 1803, the estate served as a focal point in the social and political spheres of the Revolutionary War-era New Jersey. During this period, the estate employed the use of an enslaved labor force in its daily operations, hi 1803, parts of the estate were reconstructed after a devastating fire consumed at least three of the estate's buildings, including the manor house and a second dwelling. The estate never regained its Revolutionary War-era notoriety as a prosperous plantation, but the estate continued to function as a large agricultural property in Morris County throughout the nineteenth century. - NRHP, 3 March 2004
