Discover the life and legacy behind a New York landmark.

This book chronicles the Kirk on Rutgers Farm, weaving the story of Henry Rutgers, the Rutgers family, and the Market Street Church into the fabric of early American city life. From charitable deeds and public service to the rise of the Rutgers Presbyterian church, the narrative reveals how one family shaped education, religion, and community.

Across richly detailed chapters, you’ll follow the Rutgers lineage from colonial days to modern times, see how land and schools were built through vision and generosity, and meet the people who kept the church and its missions alive through changing times. It is a portrait of civic duty, faith in action, and the long arc of a neighborhood’s transformation.
