Completed as a one-room farmhouse in 1695 by Arent Schuyler, the Schuyler homestead was passed to Arent Schuyler's great granddaughter Hester Schuyler who married William Colfax, commander of George Washington's Life Guards. Their grandson, Schuyler Colfax, Jr., was the 17th Vice President of the United States. The Dutch Colonial style addition to the originally brick and field-stone building was added by Colfax in 1783.
There has been several alterations to the structure in the 20th century such as the addition of dormers in place of "belly-windows". Today, the building operates as a local history museum having been purchased in 1994 by Wayne Township from Dr. Jane Colfax.
