Terhune-Van Dien House

History
7
Built about 1795 by Henry S. Terhune in Old Paramus on land owned by the Terhune family since 1707, the Terhune-Van Dien House stood on a two-hundred-acre farm that extended for over a mile between the Saddle River and Sprout Brook. In 1853, the house was inherited by Terhune’s grandson, John Zabriskie Van Dien, and remained in his family for three generations. Alterations to the farmhouse were made over the years, and it is in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places.
