About
the Museum
The Cornelius Low House was built in 1741 by a prominent merchant,
Cornelius Low. The house sits on a bluff overlooking what was the
Colonial port community of Raritan Landing. The house was purchased
by the County of Middlesex in 1979 from the last of 5 private families
to own it since it was built. It remains today as it stood then and
is one of two remaining structures from that commmunity. The Low House
is used as a state and local history museum, displaying changing exhibits
which run for 12-15 months. |
