Rockingham is believed to be the second oldest house in the Millstone River Valley, dating from somewhere between 1702 and 1710. Possibly built by the Higgins family, the house was originally a two story, two frame house situated high on a rocky hillside above the river. This was Washington's headquarters August-November 1783 while the Continental Congress was in session in Princeton. It was in Rockingham's "Blue Room" on November 2nd, 1783, that Washington wrote his Farewell Orders to the Armies, giving thanks and praise to his troops.
