This 200-seat theater with an organ that rises from the floor regularly screens well-known and rarely-seen movies from the Library of Congress's collection. The theater can project film (including a safe method for projecting nitrate film base) and video in many forms, including digital.
The Binghamton is a retired ferryboat that operated from 1905 to 1967 transporting passengers across the Hudson River between Manhattan and Hoboken. She was built for the Hoboken Ferry Company of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad and was designed to carry 986 passengers plus vehicles.[5] Binghamton has been permanently moored at Edgewater, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, since 1971. The US Department of the Interior added her to the National Register of Historic Places on July 9, 1982. Operated as a floating restaurant from 1975 to 2007, the vessel is now closed and awaiting demolition.[6] The Binghamton is significant as possibly the last surviving steam ferry still afloat built to serve New York Harbor, the birthplace of commercial steam navigation, the birthplace of the double-ended steam ferry, and an area whose development was profoundly shaped by the introduction of vessels of this kind.

A gentleman's collection was donated recently of an enormous amount of miscellaneous theatrical prints, including many science-fiction titles. He apparently collected these without an overriding theme, with films spanning decades of modern moviemaking. It's a treasure trove, filling in missing pieces in the not-so-distant past.

Many of Bergen County New Jersey’s earliest settlers were Lutherans. Originally these settlers had to attend church in New Bridge (Hackensack / River Edge area) or Remmerspack (now Mahwah) at the Ramapough Lutheran Church. As the Saddle River valley became more settled, the Lutherans organized a local congregation, and every fourth Sunday they used the Reformed Church in Upper Saddle River for worship. This arrangement did not last long and services where then held at the home of Thomas Van Buskirk, using the barn in the summer and the garret (attic) in the winter.
In 1819 the congregation decided to build a church. Andrew Esler, chairman of the building committee, designed the church. The land was donated by Thomas Van Buskirk and David I. Ackerman. The corner stone was laid on October 4, 1820. A bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, a bible and a hymn book were placed within the stone. On October 14, 1821, the Rev. Dr. Schaeffer preached the dedication of the new church building. The new church was named the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saddle River and Ramapough. In 1900 the name was changed to Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saddle River. It is the oldest church building in Bergen County and the sixth oldest church in New Jersey to be associated with a Lutheran congregation.
