About

18th-century farmhouse of great importance to the Battle of Monmouth. The Covenhoven family were loyal supporters of the Crown, and it was utilized as General Clinton's headquarters during the Battle of Monmouth.

Covenhoven House, also known as General Clinton's Headquarters, is located at 150 West Main Street in Freehold Borough of Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built around 1752–1753 by William and Elizabeth Covenhoven. The builder of the historic Old Tennent Church was retained for the job, and began work right after the completion of the church. In 1778, General Henry Clinton occupied this house as his headquarters from June 26 to the morning of June 28, prior to the Battle of Monmouth that day.
