Yesterday was a particularly nice spring day so we headed over to Garretson Farm and Forge in Fair Lawn, one of the oldest historic sites in New Jersey. Operated by Bergen County, it showcases what life was like in the 18th Century during colonial times. Most of the farm was sold off over the years to develop the local residential area, but a farmhouse, some other buildings and just under 2 acres of land remains.
Colonial troops bearing muskets enjoy the spring weather.
Garretson Farm brings the 1700’s to Bergen County. Click on the “Read the rest of this entry” link for more.
