The Keepers of Coursen's Corners was established in 2001 by a group of 7 women. The Coursen Homestead was set to be torn down when the land it sits on was bought by the town to build what is now Lodestar Park in Fredon, NJ. The women came together to convince the town to leave the barn and farmhouse to their care, and thus the Keepers were born. The ladies, thankfully, succeeded and now the care taking and restoration of the house is the responsibility of the women and men of the Keeper's of Coursen's Corners.
