    I had never heard of Lambert Castle before today. I attended the Paterson preservation fair at Mary Ellen Kramer Park. They provided an air-conditioned bus up to Garrett mountain to get a sneak peek at Lambert castle during renovations. We were told that after the silk strike, the owner couldn't afford the house. It changed hands a few times between war and tuberculosis housing, creating a hodgepodge of designs. It is being polished up and presented as close to the original incarnate as possible. The wood floors, the wallpaper, the Stainglass windows and woodwork were stunning. Not much is in the house as far as furnishings, but what is present, is beautiful. The carriage house is gutted, so visiting that'll be a ways off, but the house will be a jewel when complete, and it should be soon.

    This is a most see. One of the few castles in new Jersey. Great history about the industrial revolution. Well kept grounds. I wish they provided audio tours or guided tours.

    Awesome museum and castle. 1) I always came here, but never went inside the museum. Thought the castle was impressive enough. Glad I spent the 5 bucks to go inside. 2) The museum is 3 floors, great place for history buffs. 3) Walking outside the castle is amazing as well.

    Went for the holiday thing on a weekend. Lots, LOTS of people. Cool stuff to find though and the castle is amazing. Will go back sometime but maybe during the week since I'm sure I missed a lot structurally of what makes this place breathtaking.

    My family and I went here October 14 for the first time ... Although we were late the first half the tables were closing already that were set up on the lawn..They still had story telling time for the kids which was great .The bathroom was inside the building ( thank goodness) .. They had a vendor that was selling hotdogs, nachos and cheese, potato chips, apple cider.. and cookies .. (they only take cash) Before the event ended we got the chance to meet the headless horseman, which was impressive .. two of my nieces had fun and will do it again next year

    Lambert castle is a smaller size building located in Paterson right by Clifton border off of rt 80. It has three floors and a nice front yard and garden. It's pretty well reserved. When we got there, they had holiday boutique going on and the entrance fee ($6) and the overall prices for the merchandise were pretty reasonable. I don't know what the regular entrance fee is. It seems like they do not post much info online since we did not know about the boutique until we got there. No strollers were allowed inside since the space is a bit tight. Seems like the castle is closed after thanksgiving and will open again in January. Nothing is posted online though. It's a cute place to spend a nice afternoon so I ll be back. Parking space is tight and we had to park by the road which was alrighr

    If you are a history buff, or just like old mansions, this is a stop you should not miss. For a nominal fee, you get to see all three floors of the "castle", and it is well worth the money.

    See all

    On 7/18/23, we visited the Paterson Museum for the 2nd time…read more This museum is truly a hidden gem filled with so much history. Outside the museum, you'll see a train at least a century old. In addition, some interesting modern sculptures surround the building. Inside the museum, you'll see the history of the Leni Lenape Indians. The museum has a wonderful display of minerals from NJ. Over a century ago, Paterson was known as t "Silk City of the World". You'l see the old loom machines from yesteryear. One very large display case has many of the old "Colt" revolvers manufactured in the city Paterson. The museum has a section dedicated to John P. Holland. Mr. Holland designed and built the first underwater vessel accepted by the U.S. Navy. On a lighter note, you'll see many pictures of Paterson's own beloved comedian, Lou Costello ("Hey Abbott!" ) of the comedy duo Abbott and Costello. Admission is free. The museum does welcome donations.

The museum frames that reality in concise and magnificently curated exhibits. The museum covers John Ryle "Father of the American Silk Industry", Thomas Rogers 1871 Locomotive Erecting Shop which built trains that aided in the construction of the Panama Canal (the 299 sits in the front of the museum), and displays of the John P. Holland 181 submarine proto-types which were launched in the nearby Passaic river. Wright Aeronautical Corporation and it's contribution to the plane Charles Lindbergh flew solo from NYC to Paris in 1927 and the spectacular and rare collection of Colt firearms by Norman B. Tomlison Jr. and Paul R. Applegate are both on display at the musem. Also worth mentioning is the exhibit of the Delaware-Lenape culture with many artifacts and a reconstruction of a wig-wam, If you are interested in mineralogy, the museum has first grade quality specimens obtained world wide as well as from local quarries and sites. Lastly, they have exhibits celebrating local greats like Lou Costello, Larry Doby ( the second black athlete in Major league baseball and Hall of Famer), and Hinchcliff Field during the glory days of midget car racing. The old photos in each exhibit are priceless to see. The museum is only a block from the Great Falls. A two dollar donation is accepted for adults and the parking is free. There are plenty of places to eat including Libby's famous hot dogs and chili one of my favorite hot dog joints.. Make a day of it and visit Great Falls (now a National Park), tthe Great Falls Visitor Center and historic district and the Paterson Museum.

Full disclosure: it was my mother who looked up the Dey Mansion and requested to go there on a recent-ish visit. It wouldn't have been my first choice of things to do on a sunny Saturday but she's the guest and a total history nerd and it was something to check out. I can't say I didn't enjoy it at least a little bit... while my mom is a history nerd, I'm a design nerd and the house itself, built by the Dey Family, is beauuuuuufitul. The brick, the wide plank wood floors inside, the gorgeous [paint] colors used throughout were just striking on every level. Then the layout and design and function of the house back in the 1700's is so different then how we live in our homes now -- so interesting. The gardens surrounding the property are also so lovely. Here's my one issue with the historical site and tour -- when we inquired we were told it was 'less than an hour for sure' depending on how many people/questions. While the tour guide was nice enough, he was verrrrrrry long winded. There were 6 of us.. and that tour was most definitely longer than an hour. Not sure if that's the case every time but just something to be prepared for should you decide to visit. Cost for the tours was supposed to be $5 but during out visit they had just begun some restorations and certain spaces were closed off... so they didn't insist on guest paying. They still accepted donations though. Parking is also free, fyi. And the mansion is easy to get to from routes 23, 46 and 80.

    Great Restoration Hard Working Volunteers Keep Improving The Grounds County Got This One Right…read more Built in the early seventeen hundreds this piece of history had gone uncared for many years until the Garretson Forge & Farm Restoration folks tirelessly restored the property. They hold events throughout the year that range from recreating a Dutch farm garden to Dutch Christmas complete with a visit from Sinterklaas. Fish weirs, mostly built by Native Americans of the Lenape Nation can still be seen in the Passaic River near the farm. They provided the early settlers with a reliable and valuable source of protein consisting of shad, alewives, striped bass and eels. A weir can be clearly seen approximately 200 feet North of the Fair Lawn Avenue Bridge, the only reason they still exists is due to the fact that this part of the river was not navigable for commercial purposes and restoration efforts. Allen Lutins & Anthony P. DeCondo reaserched and wrote a great article for the Archaeological Society of New Jersey you can read it here http://www.lutins.org/weir/ HISTORY "One of the oldest sites in Bergen County, this pre-revolutionary sandstone house is officially listed on the New Jersey State and the United States National Register of Historic Places. This living Dutch farm museum, located at 4-02 River Road, Fair Lawn, New Jersey, sponsors activities involving restoration, preservation, historic digs, compilation of local history and folklore, educational programming, colonial agriculture, horticulture and crafts. Garretson Farm is owned by Bergen County and is administered by volunteers of the Garretson Forge and Farm Restoration, Inc. The history of the Garretson family in America began with the emigration of Gerrit Gerritse, his wife Annetje Hermansse and their son Gerrit from Wageningen, Gelderland, in 1660. The junior Gerrit, purchased the Slooterdam Patent from David Daniellse in 1719. This tract of land extended from the Passaic to the Saddle Rivers. The house was built shortly afterwards by Gerrit's son, Peter. Six generations of the Garretson family resided on the farm. The Garretson homestead is on what was once an extensive farm, but through the years the land was sold off. The present site consists of 1.84 acres along River Road. Archeologists believe that the property was once the site of an Indian encampment due to the numerous artifacts found along the Passaic River. The kitchen wing, the older section of the house, is built of rubble and undressed stone. On a late 19th century photograph of the house, remnants of a brick beehive oven can be seen on the outer wall and thus has been restored. The main section of the house, added in 1760, was built using dressed stone. The sandstone blocks are held together with a mortar made of river mud, mixed with straw and hog's hair. It was under this section that the fragments of clay pipes (c. 1720) and other artifacts were uncovered. Extensive changes were made in the house in 1902. The present gambrel roof replaced a steep gable roof; a second front door was replaced with a window. An inner stairway to the basement replaced cellar hatches and a stairway to the second floor was built. The large pillared porch was also added. A mid-nineteenth century carriage house still stands on the property along with several other out - buildings." Preserve History!
