About this property

The James W. Marshall House, located at 60 Bridge Street in the city of Lambertville in Hunterdon County, United States, was the boyhood home of James W. Marshall. Marshall's discovery of gold in the American River in California in January 1848 set the stage for the California Gold Rush.

It now serves as the headquarters for the Lambertville Historical Society, and is open to the public as an historic house museum.
