KEARNEY HOUSE
STEUBEN HOUSE
The oldest building in the New Jersey section of Palisades
Interstate Park, the house has been a Hudson River homestead, a riverfront tavern, a park police station and a historic
shrine. Today, it helps bring to life two centuries in the story
of the Hudson River and those who have depended upon it
for their lives and livelihoods.
Listed on the New Jersey and national registers of
historic places, the five-room stone cottage was built in 1752
and enlarged to present size around 1767. It was most notably used by General George Washington in September 1780,
when the Continental Army encamped on the Kinderkamack
Bridge.
