Great Falls of the Passaic River

One of the nation’s largest waterfalls, the Great Falls of the Passaic River in Paterson, New Jersey, is also a hotbed of history. Enjoy tales of Alexander Hamilton, the Industrial Revolution, the Labor Movement and the vital contributions of immigrants as you take in the spectacular scenery. A National Historical Park, the Great Falls has been recently relandscaped providing amazing views! If desired, you can also visit the nearby Paterson Museum and/or have lunch at one of Paterson’s many ethnic eateries or the famous hot dog palace Libby’s Lunch. DR. KIRK BARRETT, former director of the Passaic River Institute of Montclair State University.
