Paramus Reformed Church Historic District
Paramus Reformed Church Historic District, Reformed church district in Ridgewood, United States
The Paramus Reformed Church Historic District spans 39 acres and contains three buildings: the church, parsonage, and education buildings, plus two cemeteries.
The stone church structure, constructed in 1800, served as a military post, hospital, and prison during the Revolutionary War, with General George Washington establishing headquarters there.
The church maintains Dutch Reformed traditions dating from 1725, featuring numbered pews, designated elder seating, and an 1892 organ in the chancel area.
Visitors can explore the district daily, viewing historical memorabilia in display cases and examining graves of early Dutch settlers in the gated cemetery.
The educational building houses both administrative offices and the Schoolhouse Museum, which operated as an actual school until 1905.
