Old Paramus Reformed Church
Organized in 1725 by pioneer Dutch settlers, the congregation of this church has worshipped here over 240 years. First church, built 1735 on this land given by Peter Fauconier, a French Huguenot, was a headquarters of Gen. George Washington in 1778 and 1780. During the American Revolution it was used as a barracks, hospital and prison. Present structure, a model of Dutch Colonial architecture, was completed in 1800 using stones from the original church.
