The Van Buskirk-Oakley House began with a small wing built by Abraham J. Van Buskirk about 1820 from an earlier circa 1789 house. Its Federal style main wing was built circa 1832-34 for Fanning T. Oakley and his wife Hetty Van Buskirk. The house was later owned by their son Abraham V. B. Oakley and his wife Eliza Voorhis, and their daughter Margaret Hoyt acquired it in 1900. It remained in the family until 1978. The 211 acre farm in “Kinderkamack” once stretched from the Hackensack River to Paramus.
