This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern.
There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot.
There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel.
The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

"Loved the cottage and unique history of the property. A lovely stay, thanks!"

"Beautiful cottage. Lovely area - quiet and also well outfitted. Located in close proximity to Frenchtown, Flemington and Clinton. "

"Perfect for a weekend stay near New Hope"

"Very happy with my stay. Holly was amazing and informative. Highly recommended for renting in the area."

"Nice location, very pleasant host, charming place."

"The place was super clean, and the check in/checkout process was very easy. Definitely recommend staying here!"

"The hosts were generous and kind. The home was spacious, clean, and very well stocked with essentials. The outdoor space was also well maintained and had a lot of space for kids to run around. The staircases were steep and would probably have been a deterrent if I saw a picture of them beforehand. "

"This was an excellent find! The cottage itself was super cute and very functional. We brought our dogs, too, which was a HUGE benefit to be able to have them with us! The location was great -- just a quick drive to the highway, but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very helpful, responsive, and accommodating. I would definitely give this place 5 stars!!"
