SAEGMULLER BARN
(5115 Little Falls Road)


The Saegmuller barn was part of the Reserve Hill Farm, originally owned by the Vandenberg family. Reserve Hill subsequently became the home of one of the Vandenberg daughters and her husband, George Nicholas Saegmuller. Saegmuller, the inventor and manufacturer of precision instruments, built the stone barn in 1882. When the original farmhouse burned in 1894, Saegmuller rebuilt a grander stone "Reserve Hill" which survives today as the Knights of Columbus Hall. The first private phone line in the County was installed in 1894 to run between Reserve Hill and Easter Spring Farm, home of Saegmuller's brother-in-law, on N. Glebe Road.
