Before you search for a Paterson assisted living facility (ALF), read what we've discovered on the "Silk City."
The Passaic River snakes through Paterson. Along the river are the Great Falls, a 77-foot high tower of water that produces enormous volume and was the impetus for the city's founding by Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton saw the Falls for their industrial application - powering watermills for industries such as firearms and textiles, primarily silk. Today, you can visit the Great Falls National Historic Park by car or by foot over a bridge.
To learn about the city's industrial history, visit the Paterson Museum in the Old Great Falls Historic District. Inside you'll find the Fenian Ram, a 19th century submarine designed to be used by the Irish Republican Brotherhood against the British. Other artifacts include a large collection of early Colt firearms and industrial equipment used in the silk-weaving.
Lambert Castle was built in 1892 by Catholina Lambert, a scion of the silk industry. It serves as a library and museum complete with a 75-foot observation tower that provides views of New York City.
