Paterson Museum

The Paterson Museum is a great example of what more towns should do: it highlights Paterson's claims to fame.

The museum is not large. It has a section on how Paterson earned the nickname the "Silk City" with big machines and multiple spools of thread. You could almost picture someone working at the machines.

                                                

There was also a small display about Paterson's most famous resident: Lou Costello. We all enjoyed the display on the Wright Aeronautical Corp. Aunt Barbara is pretty convinced that is the company her father (my grandfather)worked for many years. Wright Aeronautical Corp. is most famous for building the Spirit of St. Louis.
