2. Drumthwacket

PRINCETON.   Built in 1835, this Greek Revival mansion was built by Charles Olden, then-governor of New Jersey. Many years later, after extensive renovations, the structure again serves as the governor's official home. Docent-conducted tours highlight Drumthwacket's architecture, artwork, and grounds. Volunteers also explain how the home is used presently and share with visitors its role in the Revolutionary War. Tours last about an hour and a half and must be scheduled a week in advance.   (© 10Best)
