About Rockingham
Rockingham is a historic house that was the home of John Berrien (1711–1772). It served as George Washington's final headquarters of the Revolutionary War. It is located at 84 Laurel Avenue, Franklin Township in Somerset County, New Jersey. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The house was originally located on the hillside east of the Millstone River at Rocky Hill. Since the end of the 19th century, it has been moved within southern Franklin Township several times, and is now closer to Kingston than to Rocky Hill. The residence is a featured stop on the Millstone River Valley Scenic Byway.
