Episode Details

North Jerseys historic churches, built by European settlers in the 18th century, have survived centuries as community hubs and faith centers. The First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains, established in 1769, is one of the oldest still standing. These brick and stone structures, unlike wooden ones, have withstood time. Many churches, like Spartas First Presbyterian from 1786, played significant roles in shaping towns and hosting historical events. Some welcomed all races early on and served as landmarks. Today, many are National Register gems with original features and quirks. Churches like Hackensacks Church on the Green and Mahwahs Ramapo Reformed continue to draw crowds, blending history with live services.
