Paterson – The Silk City with Mario Medici

George Washington, Lafayette, and Alexander Hamilton picnicked by the Great Falls during the Revolutionary War in 1778. After the war, Hamilton helped found Paterson as a manufacturing city, inspired by the power of the Great Falls. Later Colt would manufacture firearms, Rogers would build locomotives, and Curtis Wright produced airplane engines used in World War II. Labor unions would strike for improved working conditions in the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913. Prepare for a visit to America’s newest National Park located at Paterson’s Great Falls.  This program is via Zoom only.  Registration is necessary on mahwahlibrary.org events calendar (Don’t forget to give us your email address).  Registration will close 24 hours before the event.  We will send everyone the Zoom meeting number, password, and URL meeting link at that time.
