The Abram Ackerman House is a historic stone house located at 199 East Saddle River Road in the borough of Saddle River in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1781, it was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1936.[3] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1983, for its significance in architecture and exploration/settlement.[1][4] It was listed as part of the Early Stone Houses of Bergen County Multiple Property Submission (MPS)[5] and the Saddle River MPS.[6] Town folklore states that General George Washington slept overnight in this house during the American Revolutionary War, however HABS data reports this as unlikely.[3]
