Freehold Township in its early days was a place of refuge for persecuted religious groups, such as [[Presbyterians]], [[Baptists]], and [[Quakers]]. The Solomon family were some of New Jersey's earliest [[Jewish]] settlers. They settled on a large piece of farmland, roughly where much of the present Mount's Corner Shopping Center is located, as early as 1720.<ref name=JHMOMC>[https://www.jhmomc.org/about-us "About Us"], Jewish Heritage Museum. Accessed September 9, 2020.</ref> During the [[Battle of Monmouth]], their dwelling suffered significant damage from invading British troops. Luckily, matriarch Hannah Solomon, who was widowed, and her two sons were able to save their house after it was set on fire.<ref name=Tours/> The original barn that was built on the farm in the 1800s is now the location of the [[Monmouth County Jewish Heritage Museum]], "dedicated to the promotion of public awareness of the county's Jewish heritage for the education and enjoyment of both children and adults."<ref name=JHMOMC/>
