Local History Collection Exhibition
The exhibition from the Local History Collection on the lower level stairwell display case and in the window of the Local History Room is a selection of historic glass bottles, found in Oradell near the Hackensack River.
Sam Tripsas, Oradell’s Associate Borough Historian, found a major deposit of old bottles along the banks of the Hackensack River, just to the east of the Elm Street Bridge. Sam has been excavating the site for more than two months, and has found enough material to fill approximately eight cases.
It is not completely clear from the work so far whether the deposit was the result of a random discarding of old bottles from one or more local residences, or whether there might have been a tavern nearby that used the area for disposal. Mr. Tripsas leans more toward residential disposal since he has uncovered bottles of medicines and other small vessels more commonly found in a home.
