Historic New Bridge Landing

Elevated to the ranks of New Jersey’s newest state park in October 2004, Historic New Bridge Landing contains three New Jersey Dutch Stone Houses: the 1752 Steuben House, a state historic site; the 1774 Campbell-Christie House, a Bergen County Historic Site; and the late-18th century Demarest House, owned by the Blauvelt Demarest Foundation. All are furnished with period furnishings. The site also contains the 1889 Pratt-type, Low Truss Swing Bridge at the site crossing the Hackensack River of the original 18th century “Bridge That Saved the Nation”; the 1889 Westervelt Barn; and a reproduction 18th century Out Kitchen. The Steuben House is an esteemed Revolutionary War landmark. It was built at this strategic river crossing that served as an encampment, battleground, military headquarters and intelligence-gathering post. The Campbell-Christie House serves as the headquarters of the Bergen County Historical Society which regularly holds events on this site.
