The old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is especially true when telling the story of Paterson’s rich and remarkable history. Each photograph offers a glimpse into the people, places, industries, and events that helped shape our city. Together, they preserve the memories of Paterson’s proud past while reminding us of the promise of its future.
