About Old Ryan Farm

Known also as the Benjamin Temple House and the Temple-Ryan Farmhouse, this colonial-era farmhouse dates to about 1750 and sits on Federal City Road in the Ewingville area of Ewing Township, Mercer County. The house was relocated in 1973 from Pennington Road after highway expansion threatened it. The Ewing Township Historic Preservation Society runs it as a museum and library, and the volunteer group is working toward a future Ewing Museum on the site.
