River Edge Nj, this is a fantastic historical mystery piece with high local and historical interest. For over four decades, the disappearance of a 200-year-old local treasure known as “Old Bergen” has been one of Bergen County’s most enduring historical mysteries. Now, the search is on again!
On the morning of November 30th, divers will return to the Hackensack River in River Edge near the historic New Bridge Landing for a renewed attempt to find the cannon, which vanished from the grounds of the Steuben House on May 9, 1980.
