History

The main wing of this house was built in 1808 by Benjamin P. Westervelt, who served in the local militia during the Revolution. The site has been continuously owned by the Westervelt family since early colonial times, and General Erskine’s maps show a Westervelt home here in 1778. A fine example of the Dutch Colonial style, the house also served as a background in some early moving pictures.
