The Albert J. Zabriskie Farmhouse is a historic stone house in Paramus, New Jersey. It is located at 7 East Ridgewood Avenue. This old house was built in 1805. It was home to the Zabriskie family for many years.

History of the Zabriskie Farmhouse
The area around the house was once a busy colonial road. This road connected the Saddle River and the Hackensack River. The Zabriskie family lived here for over 200 years. They raised their families, grew crops, and kept animals.
Albert Jacob Zabriskie built this house in 1805. He used materials from his father's old home nearby. The house stayed in the Zabriskie family for 119 years. Four generations of the family lived there.
After 1924, the house was sold. It was later changed into offices. The land around it also changed a lot. A shopping center and new homes were built. Even with all these changes, the house still looks much the same. It is a great example of Dutch Colonial style in Bergen County.
