The Lafayette Theatre is a bonafide single screen movie palace from a time when Lon Chaney haunted the rafters and Clara Bow flashed a little "It Girl" ankle to scandalized movie audiences all over the civilized world. To a generation weaned on the squalor of the multiplex and the sonic overload of the High Definition Man Cave, the Lafayette is a living testament to the grandeur and wonderment of going to the movies when doing so was an event and television was still a science fiction glimmer. Thankfully, the Lafayette is a registered historical landmark that still shows contemporary films and the occasional silent picture with keyboard accompaniment. It's a fantastic night out and an unforgettable experience even if you leave the Doozy at home.

"Dutch Colonial farmhouse built in the early 1700's. Both carved date of 1747 found on an old barn beam and the rubble stone construction of the house place it in this early period. Minutes of the East New Jersey Board of Proprietors and existing public records lead to the belief [that the] house was built by a Westervelt, early owners of the land (a part of the much disputed Ramapough tract). According to recently discovered records, the house served as a tavern during the 18th century. Thus came the persistent legend that Aaron Burr stopped here for liquid refreshment en route to the Hermirage. This house is on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places." I'd love to stop by when it's open. [Review 11521 overall, 1301 of 2019.]

I've never been to an arts and crafts show so I thought maybe the creators would be there to describe their work as well as how their business (if any) is going. However, they weren't there. Also the event runs quite long! I believe it started 10/27 and ended 12/3! I learned there were other arts and crafts shows around the area. My boyfriend and I purchased this super cute snowman :)

We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area.

You can also visit the Old Train Station and Erie Caboose, all part of the permanent exhibits.

We came especially to see the model railroad with our kiddo which is only open on Saturdays from 1-4pm, but checked out the other galleries too. The museum holds some changing exhibits as well as talks and events from time to time. Admission is a modest $5 and free for children under 18 and students under 20.
