In October 2004, Harding Township and the Harding Land Trust purchased the 9.5-acre Glen Alpin property for $1.4 million.  The Trust for Public Land coordinated the purchase.  The $1.4 million purchase price was paid by Harding Township ($175,000), the Morris County Preservation Trust ($500,000), the Harding Land Trust ($200,000 Green Acres Planning Incentive Grant), NJ State Green Acres ($450,000), and the Morris County Park Commission ($75,000).  Harding Township now co-owns and manages the property along with the Harding Land Trust, which is responsible for managing the 6-acre Green Acres conservation easement in the front bordering Route 202.  NJ Green Acres appraised the property at $2.4 million. 

Located near Morristown National Park (Jockey Hollow) on the Northwest corner of Tempe Wick Road and Mt. Kemble Avenue, Glen Alpin is rich in colonial history and includes a beautiful but un-restored 1847 Gothic Revival mansion.  The property is uphill from Primrose Brook, which feeds the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.
