A highlight of my recent trip was visiting one of my ancestor's farm, Mont Clair. Mont Clair was built by Nathaniel Ewing around 1806 and was fancied-up in 1911 when the neo-classical columns were added. The 500 acre farm has been in the Ewing family for seven generations and was recently put in a land trust to preserve it in its present state.
