The Hermitage Museum in Ho-Ho-Kus NJ

            Built around 1760 and renovated in 1847, The Hermitage Museum is a fourteen-room Gothic Revival house museum. The home was occupied by Major James Marcus Prevost, his wife Theodosia, and their children during the Revolutionary War.

The Hermitage played a major role as a resting place for General George Washington and various key figures from history. During this period, 

Bergen County was at the center of the American Revolution, with troops from both sides regularly passing through the area. In July of 1778, while her husband was away fighting for the British, Theodosia invited George Washington and his troops to stay for four days as they passed through Ho-Ho-Kus. 

Among the invited guests were James Monroe, William Paterson, the Marquis de Lafayette, Alexander Hamilton, Lord Sterling, and Aaron Burr. 

Following the war, after the death of her husband, Theodosia and Aaron Burr married at The Hermitage in 1782.
