This house was built C. 1876 by order of the Morris County
Board of Chosen Freeholders to provide temporary refuge
for homeless wanderers of the post-civil war depression
years.
Moved to this site in 1988 by the Harding Township Historical
Society, the structure originally stood on land now in the
Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and formerly the
farm of Joseph Hilbert, overseer of the poor for Passaic
Township.
