History

The most noteworthy local historical site is the Old Stone House, which is, as its name describes, both old and constructed of stone, though its construction materials in the early 1700s also included hog's hair. It was originally a Dutch farmhouse and served as a tavern during the Revolutionary War. Legend has it that Aaron Burr slaked his thirst at this site, on his way to courting the woman who would become his wife in Ho-Ho-Kus. The structure opened as a historic site in 1960 with a riveting display of old pitchers. Ramsey is named after Peter J. Ramsey, a 19th-century landowner who died circa 1854, who had sold the land that became the site of a railroad station called "Ramsey's" in 1848. This attractive community has an appearance of pastoral serenity, yet is vital and modern in every respect. Splendid recreational facilities such as swimming, tennis, junior football, soccer, and baseball for both boys & girls form a cornerstone of this fine community. Ramsey's school system, which includes a four-year high school, does an outstanding job of preparing youths for future endeavors. It is a warm, active community that enjoys a small-town congeniality.
