- Grimes Homestead, Mountain Lakes, New Jersey
The Grimes Homestead is a historic home in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. It was constructed in the late 18th Century. The house served as a way station on the Underground Railroad for runaway slaves.
Anti-slavery advocate and Quaker, Dr. John Grimes (1802-1875), was born in this house and lived here until 1828. He moved back to the homestead in 1832, but subsequently moved to the neighboring community of Boonton. He was once for arrested for hiding a runaway slave, and was repeatedly harassed by supporters of slavery. The house is privately owned, and is not open to the public.
