One star was only because they did not update the website. Should have said call before coming. I flew 3000 miles to see the property. If it is open to the public self guided tours should be available if not please advise visitors on the website to call before coming and have prices available wasted 36 dollars in cab fare going to a place I could not view at 2 in the afternoon. Knowing COVID is happening update your openings tours or any information on your site for the public. Even Trenton Barracks had prices and reservations on their site.

Questions & Answers

what is this apple tree house

It's an historic house that was once owned by Dutch. It was nicknamed the Apple Tree House because they grew apples there. It's also famous for being the meeting place that our first president sat to discuss strategy. Today, this house is pretty much a small museum as it is one of the few standing buildings that is a direct connection to the past.

When is the place open for visiting?

I have passed by that place so many times and I have never seen anyone come in or out of that place.
