Wortendyke Homestead
Frederick Wortendyke, Jr. built the original sandstone section of this farmhouse in the 1750’s. Located at “Pascack” on land purchased by his father in 1735, the tract included nearly a third of present-day Park Ridge. The homestead was enlarged before 1775 and was further expanded and remodeled over the years. It remained in the Wortendyke family until 1851.
Marker is at the intersection of Pascack Road and Lang Court, on the left when traveling north on Pascack Road.
