Kennedy-Martin Farmstead

The Kennedy-Martin-Stelle Farmstead sits on a pastoral setting along the Passaic River and is an important historic site dating to the Revolutionary War. Its four historic structures are currently in the process of being restored for fine and performing arts, for community events and for interpretive historic exhibits and education.

The structures consist of an 18th century farmhouse, a circa 1800 wagon house, a mid-to late 18th century barn, and a number of 19th century outbuildings. The farmhouse, wagon house and English barn are significant early examples of English and modified Dutch framing techniques, as well as for their association with the Reverend Samuel Kennedy, a distinguished local minister and educator; and Colonel Ephraim Martin, a Revolutionary War hero and New Jersey Legislator.
