Speaker Series : Castles of New Jersey

April 17, 2008

Although not as numerous or grand as their European counterparts, a surprisingly large number of castles were built in New Jersey a century or more ago. The slide program includes well-known castles such as Lambert and Kip’s castles (photo) as well as lesser known ones throughout the state. Many of them still exist, some have been disguised over the years, and others have vanished.

Phil Jaeger, a retired mathematics teacher, is the author of two books: Montclair: A Postcard Guide to Its Past and Cedar Grove. He is currently a trustee of the Cedar Grove Historical Society and an officer of the Passaic County Historical Society.
