During its early history it sheltered people from summer rains and winter storms. It was from this building that Samuel J. Brown began the terrible ride that left him permanently disabled. Sam Brown's uncle, Gabriel Renville, respected chief of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Indians, passed away in this house on August 26, 1892. Even James J. Hill traded furs in this building, years before he became a railroad tycoon.
The First Baptist Church, the oldest religious institution in South Plainfield, was founded by local Baptists in 1792 as the Samptown Baptist Church. The first church building was constructed in the same year outside the colonial hamlet of Samptown in what is now the Hillside Cemetery of Samptown on present day New Market Avenue. A larger church was built on that site n 1832. When that structure was destroyed by fire in 1879, the present church was constructed the next year in what was then the village of New Brooklyn, which was becoming the economic and social center of the community. Now changed from its original Gothic Stick design, it is the oldest church building in South Plainfield. The adjacent parsonage was constructed in 1911. Many families prominent in the history of the area were members of the congregation. The name of the Church was changed to the New Brooklyn Baptist Church (1883), South Plainfield Baptist Church (1892), and the First Baptist Church of South Plainfield (1966).
The first European settlers in this area were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers), who came from the regions around the cities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen in Scotland. Encouraged by the East Jersey Board of Proprietors, they made their homes along the Cedar Brook in the early 1680s. In 1736, a meeting house was constructed and a cemetery was established here on land donated to the Society of Friends by John Laing, a local Quaker landowner. American soldiers were said to have been quartered in the meeting house in the winter of 1777 during the Revolutionary War. The property remained in use until 1788 when, needing a larger meeting house, the Quakers moved to a site on what is now Watchung Avenue in the City of Plainfield. There it remains to this day.

The Mansion was occupied by British officers and the Enniskillen Guards of Ireland (now Northern Ireland) during the Revolutionary War and still shows saber and musket marks on its floors and banisters. Many dignitaries visited the Manson including General George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette. Bought in 1821 by Colonel Joseph Warren Scott, it was home to his extended family for the next 90 years. He renamed the estate, Buccleuch in honor of his Scottish lineage. The Mansion and surrounding park lands were given by the last owner, Anthony Dey, in 1911, to the City of New Brunswick to honor his grandfather, Colonel Scott. The Jersey Blue Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has been its caretaker since 1914. It is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places where it is referenced as the White House Farm.
