Listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, the Seabrook–Wilson House is one of the oldest surviving houses in the Bayshore. The Seabrook‐Wilson House began as a small cabin about 1720 and over the years was expanded and altered many times by later generations.
Seabrook, who owned numerous summer homes in the lowcountry, took advantage of Seabrook’s unspoiled forests and plenteous reserves of wild game for a hunting and fishing ground. It was some 50 years later, in the midst of the Civil War, that the island again changed hands, being sold to William Gregg, who never occupied the land.
