Brick House was built in 1725 by Paul Hamilton. It was purchased by Joseph Jenkins in 1798 and has been in the care of the Jenkins family ever since. The house burned in 1929 yet the ruins still stand today. Because of their historic significance the ruins were put on the National Register in 1970. The ruins are deteriorating and we are raising funds towards the stabilization of the north wall. Please join us to see the progress we have made. Continued support with the monumental undertaking of preserving a key part of our national heritage is urgently needed and greatly appreciated.

We invite you to join us for an Oyster Roast and Chili Cook Off under the oaks in front of the ruins. The Chili Dishes were such a hit last year we are adding a judged competition this year. So make your best Chili Dish and see if you are the best!​

This is a BYOB Rain or Shine Event. Bring a hearty appetite and a lawn chair.
