SCHULYER-COLFAX HOUSE- Wayne, NJ

The Schuyler-Colfax House, is Wayne’s oldest home and was built in 1695-96 by settler Arent Schuyler. It is one of a few colonial homesteads, located on America's east coast, that was built circa 1700 and continually remained in the original family's ownership  for eight generations.

Each generation of the family produced military, medical, legal and governmental representatives, leaving behind records and artifacts.

Wayne Township has purchased the Schuyler-Colfax House, and the home is currently undergoing restoration. The Schuyler-Colfax House will be opened to the public as a museum when the restoration is complete.
