History
4
In 1826 Gilbert and Phebe Johnson, prominent Ramapo landholders, deeded five acres and a small farmhouse, the rear wing of the present house, to their son Daniel. He added the two and one-half story east section in 1836. His son Erastus completed the house in 1868. Members of the Johnson family served in numerous positions in local and State government and continuously occupied the farm until it was purchased by the Harold T. Sherwood family in 1946.
