The Robinson Plantation house was occupied until 1973 when the Township of Clark purchased it. The property is 100' x 400'. It was leased to the Clark Historical Society for restoration. It is one of the few examples of 17th century architecture remaining in the United States. One outside feature is the 17" overhang at the east end of the roof which is different from the west end. This is called a Garrison Overhang and is one of the features of houses of this period. It protected a person in the window from missiles. The house is registered as a historic site by the State and Federal Governments.
Our costumes are of a style that would have been worn in the early 1700s. Travel was mostly by horseback or a horse drawn wagon.
We hope you enjoy your visit and will return at a future date. There is no charge for entrance but we do request that you sign our guest book.
