    Visited back in April -- the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House Museum is a true hidden gem. Nestled right…read moreon the Queens-Brooklyn county line, in the far northwest corner of Ridgewood and well off the typical tourist path, this historic house museum offers a quiet, intimate escape with a fascinating story to tell. The collection inside is thoughtfully curated, showcasing artifacts that illuminate both the house's past and the surrounding neighborhood's rich history. The staff is warm and welcoming, and one guide in full period attire was not only gracious but impressively knowledgeable a wonderful touch that really brings the space to life. This is a must-visit for history buffs, preservation professionals, Ridgewood locals, or anyone exploring NYC who's craving an "out-of-the-way" spot to slow down, reflect, and soak in some Queens-centric history. Don't miss the "Arbitration Rock" on the grounds tucked inside a picket-fenced enclosure, it's an intriguing remnant of the historic boundary dispute that once defined the Ridgewood (Queens)-Bushwick (Brooklyn) border. A peaceful, educational, and surprisingly charming experience.

The staff there could not have been better stewards for the space or kinder shepherds to us as we worked out way through the planning, execution, and enjoyment of a wonderful event with friends and family. We are big DIYers and the gracious guidance of Virginia and others at Vander Ende-Onderdonk took exceptional care of us. A joyous event (and huge success for us) and cannot sing my praises enough for this gem of a location.

    I wouldn't call Ulysses S. Grant a "close, personal friend." We weren't intimates. That's for sure…read more But I knew him casually prior to the War Between the States. These were hard times for Grant. He was fluttering in the wind. Wayward and forlorn, his career seemed pretty much over. The Mexican War failed to catapult him into the fame he deserved. So he sat and waited for history to intercede. Great men can only be great men during the right set of circumstances. Lincoln needed the Civil War. He would've made a great manager at Denny's but strife brings out the best. The times and the man are seldom made for one another. Grant too needed events for glory. I'd pop in (no call, of course) and see him while he was working at a tannery in Galena, Illinois. This was in the 1850s. Any moron could see the impeding struggle brewing. The shop was nice but Grant was aimless. Distracted easily and washed up. A fighter without a fight. Even then I was known around northern Illinois as an incorrigible ball-breaker. If I didn't need a leather satchel or pair of gloves, I'd be sure to see if Grant was working. He was a prickly fellow. I took to calling him "Hiram" - his given name. He never liked that. So I mercilessly broke his balls in front of customers. Just congenial joshing but sometimes it got personal. Mostly though, it was all in good fun. Once he called me a "snake." Had he known the horrible things I called McClellan, he might have warmed up to me sooner. Then Lincoln won the election and southern states started to bow out ungracefully. Shortly after that, I came in to the store looking for my verbal sparring partner. The clerk said Grant went east. Once a solider, always a soldier I suppose. I knew then - not at what cost - that the Union would prevail. I left the store thinking about Grant and our fledgling nation. We were at a crossroads with so much bloodshed ahead. I walked for a while until reaching the banks of the Mississippi. Looking out across the beautiful river, it was there I whispered ever so softly, "Good luck, Hiram. Good luck."
