It's a well-kept secret, ye olde castle of Merriewold. It's been almost 75 years since the stones were imported block by block to Highland Park from the Cotswold area of England. Located near the Piscataway border, The Castle is set back from River Road on a hill, hidden by a thick forest and a long serpentine driveway.
People forget about the castle.
I was an adult before I first heard of it. The two had four children. In 1939, the Johnsons divorced, and Ruth married Phillip Crockett in 1940. The Crocketts moved into the carriage house shortly after that. Philip Crockett, now 100, still lives there.
