Beautiful day for a wonderful walk at our local golf club. Thank you Preakness Valley Management(Mr.Marty) for keeping the property so well manicured. Loved it.

Went back after many decades. Very nice historical place. I went for a talk on spies in Bergen county during the Revolution. Exceptional talk. I also stayed for the tour. I loved it. The house and grounds hold a lot of history and stories.I recommend this and watch their webpage for future talks.

Well restored old fashion building with a lot of history to share. It is a pity that nobody has a single picture of the general, Dey or the immediate family. If you go, try doing during an event so youre experience is enhanced. Check the website for more details.

Its hard to describe why I dig this place so much, but I love to visit Dey Mansion. The outdoor events in the rear garden are good. There is just a mellow, nice vibe here. Highly recommend you check it out.

Great experience of an original American historical landmark. The only downfall, the golf course, where men urinate on tress as myself, my 6 year old, & my wife were exposed to as we made our way into the garden area for family pictures during our outing.

My visit to George Washingtons Headquarters at Dey Mansion (pronounced die) was great. The tour guide, Ken was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting, if you like history. I would go again if they finish restoring the other buildings.The entrance was hard to find, so look for the sign for the golf course and turn in there. See pictures I posted.

Very weird leftover property as its sitting in the middle of a golf course. The tour guide never showed up so we left before seeing the inside unfortunately, which maybe is better than the outside?

I went here when I was in grammar school; I just remembered it as a fun field trip. My sis and I stopped in and had the most fun tour I can remember. The young tour guide was an intern AND he knew his stuff. No canned, scripted blah blah blah here! He is passionate about the mansion and the ground and it showed! He made the place come alive for us. I would recommend the Dey Mansion for history buffs of ALL ages!

This is always a fun trip and full of activities . I highly recommend a visit to Dey Mansion Located here in Wayne, Passaic County, NJ. Guides are very knowledgeable and always make every visit very interesting.This is a great day trip for families.Dey Mansion is currently open year-round with guided public tours Wednesday through Sunday.Washingtons bedroom and office are showcased. Original paint colors, some floor boards and a handful of original pieces belonging to the Georgian style home can be found. The window glass is a reproduction of glass from the period complete with waves and bubbles. Other artifacts while not original to the house are from the middle to later half of the 1700s.You must visit, great part of American History,They also hold different events, check Facebook Events! You will not regret it.Always a wonderful experience..Located right next to Preakness Valley Golf course! Beautiful in the the Spring and summer months
