Mrs Haskell even had a series of post cards of Marlpit Hall and its interior produced. Like many collectors of her time, Mrs Haskell's interest were varied. Objects with anecdotal histories were also of interest to Mrs Haskell. An example on view is a very plain ladderback armchair. In addition to well over 100 pieces of furniture, she gave ceramics, silver, textiles, prints and paintings to the association.
Many items carry local histories.
N.J. Also on view is a portrait of about 1790 by a local artist, Perry Hunn of Monmouth County, who painted his sister, Phoebe Hunn Vanderhoef. Mrs Haskell's own collection grew so large that it was housed and warehoused in the residence and other buildings at Oak Hill and at the apartment that the Haskells kept in New York. During her lifetime, as her family recalls, the hallway at the brick house contained tall case clocks three deep, and the New York apartment was a maze of pathways between furniture. A portion of the Haskell collection was also on loan to museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the museums of Harvard and Yale Universities benefited from these generous loans as did the Monmouth County Historical Association.
