The Hendrick Hopper Homestead is located at 724 Ackerman Avenue in the borough of Glen Rock in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The historic stone house was built in the early 19th century. It was home to the Hopper Family and is located on the corner of Ackerman Avenue and Hillman Avenue. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 9, 1983, for its significance in architecture.[2] It was listed as part of the Early Stone Houses of Bergen County Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[3] This house is occupied by a family.
