Wonders of New Jersey: 311 - 320

  • 311 Roaring Brook
  • 312 Bell Labs, Murray Hill
  • 313 Joyce Kilmer
  • 314 The Seeing Eye
  • 315 Uncle Floyd Floyd Vivino starred in The Uncle Floyd Show (1974-1998). A UHF cult favorite, the show worked on two levels: As a children's show and as an adult parody of a children's show. Floyd's most famous co-star was Oogie...a little hand puppet. 
  • 316 Craftsman Farms The former home of Gustav Stickley, a leader of the Arts and Crafts "movement." The Stickley Museum is in the log house, built in 1911. Parsipanny-Troy Hills.
  • 317 Crawfish Festival Somewhere between a lobster and a cockroach you find a crawfish. You can eat them at this festival and listen to music too.
  • 318 Captain Kidd's Treasure This treasure is rumored to be located in several spots in New Jersey, but it has yet to be discovered. Some of the areas that have been mentioned include Cape May, the mouth of Toms River, Sandy Hook and Cliffwood Beach.
     
  • 319 Speedwell Village
  • 320 Sayre and Fisher Bricks The Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Art Gallery, Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge are some of the buildings throughout the United States that were literally made out of New Jersey... using Sayre & Fisher bricks. Many of the historic buildings of Sayreville are made from the same historic stuff that these world-famous structures are made of. Perhaps even the building you work in is made out of dried up bits of the Garden State. Sayreville.
