The New North Reformed Low Dutch Church, also known as the Saddle River Reformed Church and the Old Stone Church, is a historic Dutch Reformed church located on East Saddle River Road at Old Stone Church Road in the borough of Upper Saddle River in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The current church was built in 1819 and was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) program in 1936.[2] The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 15, 1982, for its significance in architecture, exploration/settlement, religion, and social history.[3]
The congregation was organized in 1784, formed from the Paramus Reformed Church. An earlier church may have been built at the site around 1789. The current church was constructed from 1814 to 1819 and was restored from 1971 to 1972. The stone church features a replica pulpit based on the original imported from the Netherlands. The cemetery contains several graves of soldiers from the American Revolutionary War.[3]
