Port Mercer Canal House

It is located at 4278 Quakerbridge Road in the Port Mercer section of Lawrence Township, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, near the border of West Windsor Township and Princeton, New Jersey.

The Arrowsmiths loved living at the house and their children enjoyed sleeping outside by the canal in the summer and skating on the frozen canal to Trenton in the winter.

[1] In the 1970s, the Lawrence Historical Society began restoring the Port Mercer Canal House to the 1890-1920 time period.

The house and the Port Mercer area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Outside of the house, the grounds have been landscaped with small gardens and include an outhouse which was built just before the American Civil War.
