The barn today still sits on the property on the corner of Farview Avenue and Colorado Avenue. This is the original barn that was used when Fritz Behnke farmed many acres of land going west toward Route 17. Most of the artifacts at the Paramus Fritz Behnke Historical Museum came from the barn. For many years Fritz would conduct tours at the barn for school classes to explain how their grandparents lived.
