Hinchliffe Stadium is one of the last remaining Negro Leagues stadiums in the United States. It is the only athletic arena inside a National Park's boundaries as well as the only National Historic Landmark that celebrates baseball. Many of the more than 20 Hall of Famers who graced Hinchliffe's venerable grounds played in the Negro Leagues. It is a 10,000-seat horseshoe-shaped arena. It is one of the few stadiums left in the country that once hosted a significant Negro league baseball game during the Jim Crow era. The New York Black Yankees, New York Cubans, & occasionally the Newark Eagles all called Hinchliffe Stadium their home field.

HINCHLIFFE STADIUM REVIEWS
Bring it back to its original glory! My Dad’s school played football there. There was baseball, concerts, and even midget car races ! It’s a beautiful stadium, and I can’t wait to see it restored
I was born and raised in Paterson I went to Ps 5 right behind the stadium, so we used to have field day in the stadium...
I played football for Kennedy Knights and have many memories. It's being rehabilitated to a new facility which makes me happy to see that we can save part of our history

AMERICAN LABOR MUSEUM BOTTO HOUSE NATIONAL LANDMARK REVIEWS
A wonderful and very educational tour, led by a very knowledgeable guide Evelyn Hershey. The exhibits show how dramatically times have changed in the last one hundred years, mostly for the good (e.g.- modern conveniences) and some negatively (less community spirit and activism). Back in the day, people seemed to be willing to take risks (go on strike, face arrest), more 'all for one, and one for all' when compared to today. The Labor Museum is well worth a visit, and your support.
This museum doesn't just represent a crucial era in labor history, but also reflects a labor of love exhibited by the staff who make this a must visit destination for locals and travelers alike. Anyone who appreciates the role that working people have played in building this country owe a visit to this well-preserved piece of history that reminds us how much solidarity still matters to this day.
An excellent historical site, definitely worth a visit. In 1913, approx 25000 people fought for safe working conditions, an end to child labor and a fair day's pay. This is an important place in American Labor history and the items in the museum show it.
The Great Falls of the Passaic River, located in Paterson, Passaic County, is a notable waterfall that is 77 feet (23 m) high. The Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, maintained by the National Park Service, includes the falls and the surrounding area in its protection. About 200 million years ago, this fall was formed. The Great Falls also tells gripping tales of the lives of immigrants who worked in the mills, wealthy businesspeople who owned and operated factories, and the struggle of workers and the labor movement for improved wages and working conditions. The falls and the historical park create a reserve and interpretation for current & future generations.

PATERSON GREAT FALLS NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK REVIEWS
Such an amazing piece of history. I recommend to read about the place before going. Also, visiting the little museum are they have across the street before you actually go see the falls. They have a miniature model on what the falls where like in its glory days. This will give a better aderstanding what you are seeing. It not just water falling over. It it history. It's importance. It's contribution to the world of today. Its potetional. Also to what could had been and it was not. The city has done some major restoration to the visitors are. They have benches right in front of the water fall in which you can vast in its glory. The are clean public bathrooms. They have a bridge that goes right over the falls. It is a must do. The entire area is like a trip back in time. If you are a history fan, as am I, you will enjoy this a lot. You should visit during the day. There is a park on the other side of the bridge you go have a picnic or relax hear the sound of water. Such an amazing relaxing experience. The view is much better. There is parking available. It is wheelchair accessible.
It has become our tradition to bring any visiting friends or guests to this beautiful place every summer. The bridge is an architectural wonder while the happy waterfalls is a peaceful contrast to the city that thrives beside it. But this year, the bridge was partially closed and it was a bit of a disappointment as we couldn't go walk across the bridge to the other side like we always do. But yet, it is a must see place. Also, the close-up view of the falls is stroller and wheel-chair accessible.
It has very scenic views. It is in an urban area so certain spots had more litter in it than others. This park is a work in process. The one side still needs to be updated and cleaned up more and the side with.parking is much better maintsined.
