The
Bicycling Touring Club of North Jersey is asking us to identify some points of interest along their bike tour routes. They will put this information in a brochure for their June 1 Tour. See details of the routes below. It would probably be easier to just supply a list of historic sites in the following towns:
Hackensack, Bogota, Teaneck, New Milford, Oradell, Haworth, Closter, Demarest, Norwood, North Vale, Old Tappan, Rivervale, Hillsdale, Woodcliff Lake, Hohokus, Paramus, Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Fair Lawn, Elmwood Park, Saddle Brook, Rochelle Park, Maywood,
Does anyone have this information already assembled in some form? There is a County list of historic sites
here, but I’m hoping there is something more. If nothing else, can you just list what you know in a reply post?
Thanks for any help.
