The County of Bergen recognized the merits of a trust and, on November 3, 1998, placed a public question on the ballot to determine whether the County should establish such a trust fund. The ballot question was approved by a two-to-one majority of those who voted. The vote of approval allowed the Freeholder Board to establish a trust fund, which they did via Resolution #1853 on November 24, 1998, entitled the Bergen County Open Space, Recreation, Farmland & Historic Preservation Trust Fund (hereinafter “Trust Fund”). Bergen County’s Trust Fund had an initial life span of 5 years, ending in 2003. Based on the success of this initial effort, the County of Bergen sought to re-authorize the Trust Fund, via a public question to the electorate on the ballot of November 4, 2003. The ballot question was approved by a two-to-one majority of those who voted. The vote of approval allowed the Freeholder Board to re-authorize and modify the Trust Fund, which they did via Resolution #1753 on December 17, 2003, which took effect in 2004. The Trust Fund is divided into two separate programs, each having its own distinct goals and objectives.

  • Nomination Report for the Resolvert Nagel House and Farm Complex
    Nomination Report for the Resolvert Nagel House and Farm Complex Designation Title: Resolvert Nagel House and Farm Complex Location: 119 Hickory Lane Closter, New Jersey 07624 Block 2102, Lot 55 Owner: Sherrell Wilkins Gilmartin National Register of Historic Places Reference: #83001535 (The house was incorrectly listed as the Henry Naugle House, recent research has shown it to have been built by Resolvert Nagel.) New Jersey Register of Historic Places Reference: #442 Bergen County Historic Sites Survey Reference: Closter, 0207-9 Primary Reasons for Designation: The Resolvert Nagel House was built by the younger of the two Nagel brothers (Barent and Resolvert), who began the settlement of Closter 300 years ago on April 25, 1710. Resolvert’s house with construction started in 1710 is the oldest continually used farmhouse in the State of New Jersey. The house itself is one of only a very small number of fully intact pre-Revolutionary War houses within Bergen County and is one of an even smaller number of first period settlement houses. The house retains the majority of its original early 18th century fabric and significant features including a “Lozenge” stone and remnants of a jambless Dutch fireplace. During the American Revolution all four male family members associated with this household served in the Bergen County Militia under George Washington. Their association with the American Revolution has been documented in pension records obtained through the National Archives. 1 The Resolvert Nagel House was listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places as part of the thematic nomination of the architecturally significant Bergen County Stone Houses.
