18th Century Colonial New Jersey at Garretson Farm and Forge

May 6, 2007

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.
