Historic Places

Historical Society

Demarest House
Fairfield Rd
Wayne, NJ 07470

This house, which once served as a Dutch Reformed Church Parsonage, was built by John Ryerson before 1762. It was sold to the Demarests around 1814. It was dismantled and rebuilt in 1850 to rid the house of ghosts. It is currently a private residence.

Schuyler Colfax House
Hamburg Tpke
Wayne, NJ 07470

This house, which is Wayne’s oldest, was built in 1695 by Ardent Schuyler, one of the leaders of the original settlement. William Colfax, who married Hester Schuyler in 1783, gave the house the Colfax name. General George Washington stayed at this house in July of 1777. He and Martha visited here years later for the christening of the son of Capt. William Colfax and Hester Schuyler. A second son, Schuyler Colfax, would go on to become Vice President of the United States.

Van Saun House
Laauwe Ave
Wayne, NJ 07470

This old Dutch home was built in 1769 by Samuel Van Saun. In 1780 it served as headquarters of Major General Marquis de Lafayette and his troops.

Washington Headquarters - Preakness at Dey Mansion
Totowa Rd
Wayne, NJ 07470

July 1 – 29, and October 9 - November 27, 1780, Washington had headquarters here at the house of Colonel Theunis Dey. The main army encamped along Totowa Heights. While staying in this house, Washington helped plot Gen. Anthony Wayne's failed attack on Bull's Ferry and the equally unsuccessful attack on Staten Island by Lafayette. He also abandoned his plans to make a major assault on British-held New York City.
