Inscription. Construction of this sandstone farmhouse was started c. 1788 by the Halstead family. John Yeary bought the property in 1791 and built a sawmill, later combined with a gristmill on the nearby Pascack Brook. In 1795 the farm was purchased by Abraham Garret Haring whose descendants occupied it for four generations - 111 years. In 1906 the house became Martens Falls Inn and has continued as a restaurant through successive owners.
