Wishing to preserve her beloved home and give future generations the
chance to experience the sights, smells, and sounds of rural life,
Caroline Foster in 1979 bequeathed Fosterfields to the Morris County
Park Commission, to be preserved as a "living historical farm," the
first in New Jersey. Not a replica, Fosterfields is a working farm,
using the tools, techniques, and materials of a turn-of-the-century
farm.
General Joseph Warren Revere, grandson of Paul Revere, bought
the property in the mid-1800s and built the impressive Gothic Revival
home, The Willows. Charles Foster purchased the farm in 1881, changing
its name to Fosterfields, and it was here that Caroline Foster lived 98
of her 102 years. As she wished, Fosterfields offers an incomparable
opportunity to experience our agricultural heritage, providing through
its living history programs and tours a fascinating look at life in the
late Victorian era.
