Paterson Museum

Paterson Museum is a museum in Paterson, in Passaic County, New Jersey, in the United States. Founded in 1925, it is owned and run by the city of Paterson and its mission is to preserve and display the industrial history of Paterson. It is located in the Great Falls Historic District. Since 1982 the museum has been housed in the Thomas Rogers Building on Market Street, the former erecting shop of Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works, a major 19th-century manufacturer of railroad steam locomotives. Prior to 1982 the museum was located in the former carriage house of Nathan Barnert, civic figure and philanthropist. Inventory The museum has some notable old-found items. It has a range of old guns, Native American artifacts, to gem stones and old locomotives. Many tours are constantly coming from schools and other towns to inspect and check out these old items. The museum additionally has a beautiful painting collection, although to make room for more 'notable' items, they have put a lot of these paintings into personal hold. The museum has a vast collection of medicine that was used in the early 1900s, along with beautiful paintings of medicine covers. The number of old medicine caps that they have vary in the hundreds. They also have paintings of old hospital assistants, and how life back in the infirmary was in the early years. Notable exhibits include the Fenian Ram, the submarine designed by John Philip Holland for use by the Fenian Brotherhood and their earlier Holland I. The museum also houses an archive of Holland's life and work. A large collection of early Colt firearms and the façade of a playhouse built by Lou Costello for his children are also on display. There is a display of industrial equipment from the former silk-weaving factories that used to be a prominent part of Paterson's economy, including automated looms. The museum has a railroad track at its entrance, with live toy-model train going around the track. In popular culture The museum's first head curator was James Ferdinand Morton Jr., who held the position from the museum's founding in 1925 until his death in 1941. Morton was friends with author H. P. Lovecraft, and based on this friendship, Lovecraft includes the Paterson Museum in a scene in his famous 1926 short story "The Call of Cthulhu". Lovecraft's 1935 short story "The Haunter of the Dark" includes an artifact called the Shining Trapezohedron; it has been proposed that Lovecraft based this artifact on a trapezoidal piece of almandine on display at the Paterson Museum.

Paulinskill Viaduct

Das Paulinskill Viaduct, auch Hainesburg Viaduct genannt nach der nächstgelegenen kleinen Ortschaft im Knowlton Township, Warren County, New Jersey, USA, ist das erste der großen Eisenbahnviadukte, das die Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad im Rahmen des neuen Lackawanna Cut-Off in den Jahren 1908 bis 1910 bauen ließ. Die Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad war im Zuge der Erschließung der Anthrazitkohlevorkommen in den nordöstlichen Appalachen, u. a. im Lackawanna County, entstanden. Ihr Netz erstreckte sich von New York City bis Buffalo am Eriesee und Oswego am Ontariosee. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts ließ sie den Lackawanna Cut-Off bauen, eine Abkürzung mit möglichst geraden Strecken, geringen Steigungen und ohne höhengleiche Bahnübergänge, mit der die Geschwindigkeit der Züge erhöht, die Fahrzeiten verkürzt und die Gewinne der Gesellschaft gesteigert werden konnten. Diese Streckenführung erforderte neben langen Dämmen und Geländeeinschnitten auch große Viadukte, wie das Paulinskill Viaduct und das Delaware River Viaduct. Beim anschließenden Bau einer weiteren Abkürzung, dem Nicholson Cut-Off, entstand das noch größere Tunkhannock Viaduct. Diese drei Viadukte gehörten zu den ersten großen Stahlbetonbrücken und lösten sich untereinander als die jeweils größten Stahlbetonbrücken der Welt ab. Das Paulinskill Viaduct überquert den Fluss Paulins Kill und eine kleine Straße in einem abgelegenen Waldgebiet etwa vier Kilometer oberhalb von seiner Mündung in den Delaware River. Das für den zweigleisigen Verkehr ausgelegte Bauwerk wurde vollständig aus Stahlbeton errichtet und ist insgesamt 340 m (1100 ft) lang. Seine acht Pfeiler mit Achsabständen von 42,7 m (140 ft) treten wie Pilaster aus der Reihe der sieben großen Rundbögen hervor und enden in kleinen Terrassen neben den Gleisen. Der Fahrbahnträger ist mit jeweils acht schlanken Bögen auf den großen Rundbögen aufgeständert. Die Gleise lagen in einer Höhe von 35 m (115 ft) über dem Flussbett. Der Zugverkehr begann an Heiligabend 1911 und dauerte bis 1979, als das Nachfolgeunternehmen Conrail den Verkehr auf der Strecke einstellte. Conrail gab die Strecke 1982 vollständig auf und entfernte 1984 die Schienen. Der Zugang zu dem inzwischen verlassenen Bauwerk ist zwar untersagt und die Polizei versucht das Verbot durch periodische Verhaftungen durchzusetzen, aber die Inspektionsgänge auf den Bögen und die vielen Schächte und Kammern im Inneren des Bauwerks sind das Ziel zahlreicher Abenteurer. Alle erreichbaren Flächen sind mit Graffiti bedeckt. Weblinks Paulinskill Viaduct auf Bridgemeister.com Einzelnachweise
Paulinskill Viaduct

The Paulinskill Viaduct, also known as the Hainesburg Viaduct, is a reinforced concrete railroad bridge that crosses the Paulins Kill in Knowlton Township, New Jersey. When completed in 1910, it was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world. History The viaduct was built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad as part of the Lackawanna Cut-Off, a project that replaced an older route with a straighter and flatter route through the mountains of northwestern New Jersey. (A sister bridge of similar design but smaller dimension, the Delaware River Viaduct, carries the Lackawanna Cut-Off over the river, Interstate 80, and the New Jersey-Pennsylvania state line.) Designed by the DL&W's engineering staff under the supervision of chief engineer Lincoln Bush and built by the Philadelphia contracting firm of Reiter, Curtis & Hill, the bridge was considered a pioneering work that opened the door to the building of even larger concrete viaducts by the Lackawanna, most notably the Tunkhannock Viaduct in Pennsylvania in 1915. Opened to regular rail traffic on Christmas Eve 1911, the Paulinskill Viaduct, supported by its seven graceful arches, carried DL&W trains until 1960, when the railroad merged with the Erie Railroad to form the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. The E-L in turn operated the Cut-Off until 1976 when the railroad was conveyed into Conrail, which ran trains until November 1978, abandoned the line in November 1981, and removed the tracks in 1984. NJ Transit Rail Operations is working to restore commuter service along the Cut-Off, with the 7.3-mile (11.7 km) section from Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, to Andover, New Jersey, which is slated to open in 2027. Amtrak has proposed to restore the rest of the Cut-Off west of Andover, including the Paulinskill Viaduct, and resume passenger service into northeastern Pennsylvania and onto Scranton. The Paulinskill Viaduct is known for the internal chambers used to inspect the structural integrity of the bridge, which are popular among urban explorers. The graffiti-filled chambers have been featured by Weird NJ. Notes References Taber, Thomas Townsend; Taber, Thomas Townsend III (1980).

Penns Neck Baptist Church

Penns Neck Baptist Church (also known as Red Lion Tavern and Princeton Baptist Church at Penns Neck) is a historic church located on US 1 at Washington Road in the Penns Neck section of West Windsor Township, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1812, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 28, 1989, for its significance in architecture, exploration/settlement, and religion. History The church was built alongside the then new Trenton and New Brunswick Turnpike, now Route One. The turnpike, which had opened in 1807, was designed to help provide a proper road connection between Philadelphia and New York City. The parsonage pre-dated the church and had been a public house in which, it is thought, George Washington and William Penn had stayed. At the time the area was also called Williamsburg and the church was first referred to as Williamsborough Baptist. The Rev. Peter Wilson started in ministry in central Jersey preaching in private homes, starting at that of John Flock in Pennington in 1790, and also at John Campbell's house in Princeton. In 1791 John Hight and his wife of Penn's Neck were baptized and preaching continued in their home as well as others in Princeton. By the time the church was built, twenty-nine residents of the Penn's Neck area had been baptized including Richard Thomas, who would later serve as a delegate to the New Jersey Association (formed 1811), and New Jersey Baptist State Convention (formed 1830). Funds for the church building were raised from the congregation in Hightstown as well as residents of Princeton. At its dedication the church had thirty-seven members.

City Hall in Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States, is a historic building built in the early 18th century. It is now the oldest public building in continuous use in the United States. The Perth Amboy City Hall and the Surveyor General's Office were added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1981, for their significance in architecture and politics/government.

The building has twice been rebuilt after being badly damaged by fire; first in 1731, rebuilt until 1745, and again around 1765 following an arson attack believed to have been committed by a former inmate who was imprisoned on debt charges. It was rebuilt a second time in 1767. City Hall has undergone three renovations, most recently in 2006, although some of the original structure remains. The building is now Victorian in style. The two-room Surveyor General's Office was built adjacent to City Hall in 1867, which was used by the General Board of Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey. Notable events On November 20, 1789, the State of New Jersey became the first to ratify the United States Bill of Rights. On March 31, 1870 Thomas Mundy Peterson (1824–1904) became the first African American to vote in an election under the just-enacted provisions of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution. On February 22, 1896, the terra cotta statue of George Washington by Nels N. Alling is dedicated in Market Square, next to the City Hall. It was a gift of the Scandinavians of Perth Amboy.

Perth Amboy Public Library

The Perth Amboy Public Library is the free public library in the city of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, located at 196 Jefferson Street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 24, 2025, for its significance in architecture. Circulation Serving a population of 47,000, the collection includes a collection of 177,469 volumes and circulates 110,260 items per year. The library is a member of the Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium. History In 1825, several Perth Amboy citizens created the Perth Amboy Library Company, but disbanded in 1835 with the book collection being scattered. The Perth Amboy Library Association was created in 1888, again by a group of locals citizens who in 1891 the saw the library became incorporated under state law. In 1896, the Perth Amboy Free Public Library, with municipal support. From its inception the library relocated five times. Carnegie building The current building is one of the first of New Jersey's original 36 Carnegie libraries, built with partial funding from the Andrew Carnegie in 1901. It was built on land donated by J. C. Mc Coy, of the Raritan Copper Works. A donation of $1,000 from Adolph Lewisohn was made to purchase new books. The city agreed to operate and maintain the new facility. Dedicated on December 3, 1903, it one of three Carnegie libraries opened that year still in use. In 1914, the Carnegie Corporation donated an additional $30,000 for the creation of two reading rooms. A Children's Library was added in 1925, but was destroyed by fire in 1977 and not rebuilt. The Children's Library was the basement, a space which had been used as a meeting room and theater. A branch library was created at the Shull School in 1925, but later closed to make way for additional classrooms. In 2010, renovations of the original building, including the replacement windows and repairs to the roof, were made as part of a restoration project. Dennis Kowal Architects prepared a Historic Preservation and Renovation study released in 2010. It recommends restoring the library, exposing hidden skylights, enlarging the children's library, as well as new restrooms, stairs and elevators to make the facility wheelchair-friendly. An outdoor garden, a meeting room, a local history room, a magazine-reading room and air-conditioning are suggested. It is estimated total costs would run about $3.5 million. Expansion plans At 12,351 square feet, the current building does not satisfy the state's 27,214-square-feet minimum required size for a library and is considered too small for the city's 51,000 residents. The 2010 study calls for adding 22,500 square feet by constructing an addition on the east side of the property. Total costs for renovation and new construction are estimated at $9 million.

Perth Amboy Ferry Slip

The Perth Amboy Ferry Slip, located on the Arthur Kill in Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States, was once a vital ferry slip for boats in New York Harbor. It was added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The ferry slip was restored in 1998 to its 1904 appearance. A replica of the ticket office has been constructed and is used as a small museum. History Perth Amboy is located at the mouth of the Raritan River at the Raritan Bay, an arm of the Lower New York Bay. Perth Amboy served as New Jersey's capital from 1686 until 1776. In 1684, it became the capital of East Jersey and remained so after the union of East and West Jersey in 1702, becoming an alternate colonial capital with Burlington until 1776. Ferry service at the site dates back to 1684. During the colonial era and for a long thereafter, Perth Amboy was an important way-station for travel between New York City and Philadelphia, providing the waterways used by the ferry service originally set up by Cornelius Vanderbilt, who later became known as "The Commodore". The slip was later used to transport newly arrived immigrants from Ellis Island, many of whom remained in the town. The native Lenape provided crossings to settlers as early as 1680. The longest-running ferry service crossed the Arthur Kill to Tottenville, Staten Island, with regular service beginning in 1709 or 1719 operated by Christopher Billopp. Steam service was introduced in the late 19th century by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and ran until 1943, and was served by the Staten Island Railway at the Tottenville station. In the early motoring age the ferry was an important link for travelers to the Jersey Shore It became less important with the 1928 opening of the Outerbridge Crossing, but continued operating until October 17, 1963.
