Built by the Hopper family, it is the oldest remaining house in Upper Saddle River. We know it existed in 1739 because it was recorded in surveyor Charles Clinton's journal, and possibly it is older. Rosalie Fellows Bailey, in her book on pre-Revolutionary Dutch houses, says it was marked as the home of Gerrit Hoppa on a rough sheepskin map made about 1713. 

In 1985 the Hopper-Goetschius house was presented to the Borough of Upper Saddle River by Clinton and Grace Carlough and Lizzie Goetschius. The last resident of the house was Clint Carlough's aunt. 

The house today serves as a museum, run by the Upper Saddle River Historical Society, and offers the public historically related events thoughout the year. http://www.usrhistoricalsociety.org/HGHouse.html ….!!! NJoy the pics !!!.... “Big Al”!!!
