Spring Tour and Tavern Day
Sunday, April 13, 2008
2-5 PM

Campbell-Christie House, 1201 Main Street, River Edge, NJ 07661

Enjoy selections from the Bergen County Historical Society’s collection of Jersey Dutch artifacts and furnishings, which are displayed in the Campbell-Christie House, a gambrel-roof sandstone dwelling, built in 1774. Relocated from New Milford, this County Historic Site is restored as an 18th-century tavern. The adjacent Demarest House is the best surviving example of a so-called Flemish farmhouse. The Jersey Dutch Out Kitchen will also be open. At 3 PM, historians Kevin Wright and Mike Trepicchio will lead a walking tour of the lost village of New Bridge, which spans the narrows of the Hackensack River where River Edge, Hackensack, New Milford and Teaneck intersect. Dress accordingly and wear appropriate shoes. Donation: $5 adults, $2 children, BCHS members free.
