The White Hill Mansion, now owned by the town of Fieldsborough New Jersey, features an original 1700s American farmhouse, its Victorian additions as well as a modern dining room addition in the back. The scene of drama and death during the Revolutionary War and Prohibition Era, White Hill Mansion sits on a bluff overlooking the Delaware River. The mansion is currently open for ghost tours, which may seem like a bad idea due to the history of the home which includes a very active prohibition period.
