Caldwell Parsonage stands at 909 Caldwell Avenue in Union Township, Union County, New Jersey. It was the home of the Rev. James Caldwell, a Presbyterian minister and active supporter of the Patriot cause in the American Revolutionary War. An earlier parsonage on the site, dating to 1730, was burned by a Loyalist mob in 1780, the same year Caldwell's wife Hannah was killed by British soldiers in the house during the Battle of Connecticut Farms; Caldwell himself was shot by an American sentry the following year. The present building was constructed in 1782 by what is now Connecticut Farms Presbyterian Church and served as a home for its pastors into the 20th century. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and now serves as a historical museum operated by the Union Township Historical Society, open to the public on weekday mornings and afternoons.
