The Old Dutch Bergen Reformed Church was constructed in 1866 and enlarged around 1890.  The well-preserved, bracketed, Italianate-influenced frame church is a major feature in the center of Bayonne and a physical reminder of community’s Dutch settlement in 1646.

 

The current Trust grant will fund the exterior restoration of the church, including wood siding and trim repairs  The previous grant helped fund the replacement of the roof membrane, repairs to the roof drainage system, and restoration of the church’s decorative eaves.
