I love coming to Ringwood Manor at Christmas Time. It really is a special place when you see it all decorated for the holidays. The whole house is in full Christmas decor. Each room has a different theme to it and is decorated to the hilt. The Friends organization does a nice job showcasing the house at the holidays. I am sure that the family did not decorate that much. My favorite room was the formal dining room that was set for Christmas lunch with all the tableware and fake foods on the side board. The house is beautifully decorated but not overdone. Remember to visit the barn on the property to see all the arts and crafts for sale. In the smaller gift shop in the house, take time to see all the handmade ornaments. One of the crafters is really creative. There is also a small coffee shop in the next building to have a snack. It is really a nice afternoon at the Ringwood Manor.

At the center of the historic & once grand Newark downtown the first class museum with striking exhibit space offers insights into both the old & resurgent city. Adjacent to the elegant Ballantine mansion, overflowing with silver & handsome furnishings, the eclectic collection contains masterpieces from the 19th century & Hudson River School, Corning & Steuben glass, jewelry & modern crafts as well. Although we ran out of time, on our next visit - with discounts for seniors - we look forward to exploring the 20th century art.
5. Hamilton Park

This is where in 1804, Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton.
Reviewed By kelliplansitall - Keller, United States
Hamilton Park has the most breathtaking views of Manhattan. Additionally there is a little monument for the Alexander Hamilton - Aaron Burr duel. The actual dueling ground would have been somewhere in the trees below the cliff, so largely inaccessible. It’s beautiful and somber to consider the lives lost here (since it was home to more duels than just this famous one). We took the ferry across from the city and then took an Uber to the park. Walking to the park is not impossible, but it’s not easy and mostly uphill, making it difficult for my travel companion.

Whether you love American history, technology, art/design, or just seeing fascinating STUFF, you'll love walking around the Edison laboratory. From the cubbyholes stuffed with papers in his rolltop desk in the gorgeous library, to the mind-boggling machinery, to the music room with a working cylinder-playing phonograph, you get a sense of this driven personality who created modern America. One of the best historical sites.

The Barn is a good memorie of the Dutch people once living here. Also for us, not living here, but remember the earlier times and realize how fast things changed. Our sincere appreciation for the work done.

Reviewed By rcs26 - Fair Lawn, United States
This lovely old Dutch farm has scheduled house and garden tours and events throughout the year. It is run by volunteers. The Master Gardeners are also busy at work there, creating and maintaining organic colonial gardens true to the time the house was built. Much of the produce goes to the local food pantry. The grounds are beautiful, and at special events some of the herbs and veggies are for sale, as well as baked goods. There is a wreath making workshop once a year before Christmas. There are many other events that are wonderful as well, such as the annual butterfly release. Membership is inexpensive. This is one of Fair Lawn's jewels! Children and their families will be glad they visited. Look online for their schedule of events.
10. Lambert Castle
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 100 reviews
Lambert Castle, referred to as "The Castle" by many local residents, is the late Victorian-era mansion of former silk magnate Catholina Lambert. It was in the castle that Catholina Lambert displayed many of his prized European and American paintings. The historic site represents one of several rare examples of castellated residential architecture in America. Lambert Castle was listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. For a long stretch of time, visitors were invited to explore permanent period room exhibits and indulge in scenic view of the New York City skyline. The museum also presented changing exhibits that reflected the local history of Passaic County. Today, Lambert Castle is under renovation and closed to the public. The project is expected to be completed in 2023. In the meantime, venture up to Lambert Tower in Garret Mountain Reservation. Lambert built this 70-foot-tall observation tower.
