The Dr. Jabez Campfield House, also known as the Schuyler Hamilton House, is a historic Georgian-style home and museum located in Morristown, New Jersey. Built around 1760, it served as the residence of Dr. Jabez Campfield, a surgeon during the American Revolutionary War, who played a crucial role in inoculating soldiers against smallpox. The house is notable for its connection to Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, who courted Elizabeth Schuyler there. Now owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution, the house offers tours showcasing period furnishings, medical artifacts, and a garden celebrating women's suffrage. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American history.
