Lord Stirling Manor Site

The Lord Stirling Manor Site is a historic site located at 96 Lord Stirling Road, in the Basking Ridge section of Bernards Township, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. It was the property of the American General William Alexander, Lord Stirling. It is now part of Lord Stirling Park.[2] The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978. An archaeological excavation sponsored by Somerset County Parks unearthed thousands artifacts dating from Lord Stirling's occupation through the 20th century. The site is currently occupied by a 1920s Montgomery Ward mail order house that was situated on the foundation of the original structure.
