The White Hill Mansion is currently on the New Jersey State Register of HistoricPlaces. A restoration project began in 2004. Two Archaeological digs were conducted by Dr. Richard Veit and students from Monmouth University. Over 30,000 artifacts were uncovered, as well as several building foundations and evidence of Native American occupation.

 

As the Revolutionary War approached, Robert Field headed the New Jersey Committee of Correspondence. This committee and committees like it, formed across the colonies to resist the British Parliament with less radical methods than their contemporaries, The Sons of Liberty. These committees petitioned the British Parlement and, exchanged information throughout the colonies. After war broke out, the committees expanded their roles as new pseudo administrative organizations, as the previous colonial governments fell apart. Robert drowned in the Delaware river in 1775. After the mysterious circumstances of his death, his young wife defended her home and family as the Revolutionary War broke out in 1776.

 

Over the following 237 years, the mansion was expanded and reflects several architectural styles. It has housed doctors, entrepreneurs, and rum smugglers during prohibition. The building has been used as a bordello, speakeasy and, for seventy years it was Glenk's White Hill Mansion Bar and Grill.
