The Estey House dates to the last quarter of the 18th century. The house was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1786. Captain Moses Estey was a chair maker and veteran of the Revolution. The Georgian-style house was modeled after the Ford Mansion in Morristown, New Jersey. The house was moved in 1968 from downtown Morristown to its present location at Historic Speedwell after being threatened by demolition as part of an urban renewal project.
Historic Speedwell in Morristown preserves the estate of Stephen Vail, proprietor of the Speedwell Iron Works from the early to mid-1830s. Additionally, the site includes the factory building where Alfred Vail and Samuel F.B. Morse demonstrated a perfected electromagnetic telegraph to the public for the first time in January 1828.
