It was Saturday, May 18th 2019 when I went to the local beauty supply store and stumbled upon the \Bergen Square Day\ celebration. The sun was shining brightly, the weather was nice and warm so it was the perfect day to celebrate. The entire Bergen Avenue area from Sip Avenue through Highland is historic. On that day, we were able to get a glimpse into the past when the doors to The Van Wagenen house (Apple Tree house) were opened to the public. The entire area was Dutch and we learned that the smaller part of the house was built first in order to give the people shelter in the quickest way possible. The larger part would be added on after they had settled in the area for a while. During the visit, guests got to see a copy of the deed and the property owner's \inventory\ which included 3 slaves.

It was a pleasure to speak about an important cause that affects our society! Plus the Apple Tree House has such a historic foundation and decor...it's truly unique and very beautiful!!!
Restoration of a safe house for the underground railroad. It served as a meeting place for women's rights during the suffrage movement. A vital piece of National and State History.
Historic home that had additions to it. Special tour that was fun and informative
Beautiful historical property that houses Jersey City's Economic Development Corporation and Office of Cultural Affairs.
