The Huff House and Farmstead is a historic 2-acre (0.81 ha) property located on River Road at the South Branch Raritan River near the Flagtown section of Hillsborough Township in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. The Huff House was built in 1842 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1976, for its significance in agriculture and politics/government.

History and description

The building is a two and one-half story farmhouse featuring Greek Revival architecture, in particular the four Ionic columns of the front porch. The house was built by Tunis Huff in 1842. His son, Abraham T. Huff, later owned the house and was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly in 1868. The farm was owned and operated by the Huff family until 1972.
