The Demarest House, now run as the Demarest House Museum, is a two-room sandstone cottage at New Bridge Landing in River Edge, Bergen County, New Jersey, built around 1794 for miller John Paulison on his marriage to Altie Ely. Originally standing near the French Burial Ground in New Milford, the house was moved about a mile southwest to its present site in 1955 and 1956. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1983 as part of the Early Stone Houses of Bergen County listing, and the Blauvelt-Demarest Foundation, which owns it, carried out a restoration in 2009.
