I enjoy historical sites. Our history must be saved. We need to learn and grow from the past.

Built in 1720, it was the original home of Gilbert Vanderhoef, owner and operator of the only working flour and gristmill in the area at that time.

Absolutely brilliant architecture. This historic landmark was fully restored in August of 2018. According to the Passaic County Historic Society website, the Vanderhoef-Westervelt House, located in Weasel Brook Park is one of the oldest buildings in Passaic County and is the oldest County owned facility. The red sandstone structure was built c. 1720 as the home of Gilbert Vanderhoef, owner, and operator of the County’s second oldest gristmill. Although the property changed hands a number of times it continued to be operated as a grist mill until 1897.
