Map / Directions to the Kinderkamack Historic Marker

This historic marker, which is located next to the Emerson Train Station, explains the history of the Kinderkamack area and Kinderkamack Road. The road was surveyed during the Revolutionary War. A great deal of activity and movements of troops and raiding parties occurred in Bergen County, and Kinderkamack Road was used often by both American and British forces. A ten-mile stretch of road, running from Hackensack to Montvale, still bears the name Kinderkamack Road. This sign is located at the approximate mid-point.[1]
