The New Hampton Historic District is a 76acres historic district in the village of New Hampton in Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 6, 1998, for its significance in architecture, commerce, education, transportation, and community development from to 1929. It includes 42 contributing buildings, six contributing sites, and four contributing structures located along Musconetcong River Road.[2]
The district includes the New Hampton Pony Pratt Truss Bridge across the Musconetcong River connecting Shoddy Mill Road in New Hampton with Rymon Road in Washington Township, Warren County.[3]
By 1784, Henry Dusenbery (1760–1825) was working in the village as a merchant, operating the storehouse now at 47 Musconetcong River Road.[2]
