History
4
Built about 1789 by Jacobus S. Demarest, this house later received a frame wing. Demarest served in the Revolutionary War, and over the years his farm grew to 180 acres. In 1835 his son, Daniel J. Demarest, inherited the farmhouse. In 1863 it passed to his daughter, Letty Ann, and in 1894 to her son Daniel J. Fox. Irene Fox Munzinger was the last of the Demarest line to occupy the house after 194 years in the family.
