New Exhibit
Opening August 4
View this exhibit during regular visiting hours, any Sunday from 1-4 pm.
As always, museum admission is free.
Did you know that Park Ridge’s first election in 1894 was explosive — literally? The winning candidate, who led by a single vote, celebrated by firing a cannon in Depot Square.
How about the story of Washington Township’s formation in 1840, when the opposing side stole the ballot box and threw the election officials out the windows of a local tavern?
Our new exhibit will highlight the Pascack Historical Society’s archive of political memorabilia that dates back to the 19th century, as well as some remarkable stories of elections from our region’s past.
