Take a Stroll

The Hermitage sits on 4.9 acres of property on the border of Waldwick and Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. This is but a fraction of the original property, which once spanned nearly 300 acres. Today, the grounds consist of the Hermitage house, the John Rosencrantz House, and our beautiful gardens.

The gardens on the property are maintained by the Master Gardeners of Bergen County, a dedicated group of volunteers graduated from the Rutgers Master Gardeners Program. Like the Hermitage itself, the property is owned by the State of New Jersey, Division of Parks and Forestry.

Our gardens are free, and open to the public seven days a week from 9:00am – 5:00pm. ​
