Description
The General John Frelinghuysen House is a building on the National Register of Historic Places located in Raritan, Somerset County, New Jersey. It was the home of John Frelinghuysen (1776-1833), who bought the property in 1801 and lived there for most of his life until 1833 (except for several years when he resided in Millstone around 1804-1810). At that time, this area was part of Bridgewater Township.

This is a historical site of enslavement as John Frelinghuysen held several people in bondage while he lived at the house.
The building now houses the Raritan Public Library.
