The Parker Homestead is a historic home and grounds in Little Silver, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, located at 235 Rumson Road near Sickles Park.
The main house was originally built circa 1720, and includes materials from an earlier structure (c. 1667) the early and late 19th century, and the 1910s and 1920s.
Little Silver was settled by two of the original patentees of Shrewsbury Township,[8] one of the earliest English-speaking settlements in New Jersey[9] Brothers Joseph and Peter Parker settled in the area in 1667 and owned land bounded by Parker's Creek on the south and Little Silver Creek on the north, named their holdings "Little Silver" after their father's (George Parker) estate in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
[10] The farm remained in the family until the last descendant of the original settlers, Julia Parker, died in 1995.
[14] In the summer of 2013, an Eagle Scout project was conducted to clear invasive and obtrusive plants from the area surrounding the pond next to the house.
