We fall back into News 12 as we take you to some pretty neat places in Wayne News 12. New Jersey's Kimberly Buck is live with us from Day Mansion, Kimberly George Washington's old stomping grounds. Nick. Exactly. It's a gorgeous morning here as we wake up in Wayne and I'm here, joined with John Bartlett, the director of Dimension. Thank you so much for having us. It's a beautiful crisp morning. Tell us a little bit about what we need to know about, Sir George Washington. Sure. Well, this is the dimension. Washington's headquarters in 1780 was built here in Wayne in 1772 by Tunis Di and he was a Dutch merchant who then became a member of the or actually the leader I should say of the Bergen Militia during the revolutionary war. This is the place where in 1780 Washington ran the war effort, uh writing correspondence, receiving meetings from folks all up and down the east seaboard in a crucial year for the revolutionary war. So rumor has it not much has changed? I mean, they literally left where he slept exactly the way it was. The house has been through a lot. But you go inside and you feel like you're stepping back into 1780 because we've done an amazing job of preservation. And uh I'm very excited for folks to be able to come out as we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States of America and rediscover the Washington story and the American revolutionary story here in Passaic County. Well, John, I'm excited to take the tour with you this morning. But before we do that, I want to talk about the history in Wayne. This is a very rich historical area in New Jersey. Absolutely. Wayne is really has, has got so much going on and Passaic County is participating in that in partnership with Wayne township. It's not just the dimension, it's a bunch of other sites. Uh the Skyler Colfax House. You might not have heard of a Skyler, but you certainly heard of his three grand nieces, the Skyler sisters from the musical. All of that history happened right here in Passe County, right here in Wayne. We're partnering between the county and our municipalities to preserve it and continue telling that story to young people and, and to people of all ages. We're excited, John, thank you so much. We're gonna be here in Wayne and we'll bring you the latest inside the mansion just straight ahead, Kimberly Buck News 12 New Jersey.

Right now, fall back into News 12 as we take you to some of the historic places in way in news of New Jersey's Kimberly Buck is live with us this morning from Dimension Kimberly George Washington's old stomping grounds. That's correct. Lauren and Nick. Thank you so much. So we continue our tour of the mansion. So John tell us about this particular room that we're sitting in. So we're sitting here right now in the parlor of the Dye Mansion. This is where Tunis di the homeowner and his family would relax in the evenings. And of course, in 1780 when George Washington was using the Dye Mansion as his wartime headquarters, this would be where George Washington and his aides de camp. Like Alexander Hamilton would sit, play a game of poker, uh talk about the day's events and the war effort. Uh because we're right across the hallway from George Washington's office. That's right. You could actually see the card game that was happening right in front of us. It's funny. So, so many of the relics in this room are preserved from, you know, from the 17 hundreds and some of them were almost like we were hands off, right? It's, it's, it's a museum. So if you could explain that and like how it is on a tour, let's say, for folks to come and visit. Um So folks that come here to visit and, and tour the house are going to see a whole lot of wonderful stuff from that period. From the late 17 hundreds into the 18 hundreds. This was the Dye Mansion for decades before and after uh George Washington's time here in 1780. So you're gonna see wonderful historic restoration. Uh We really lovingly restored this after it had fallen into disrepair. All of the floorboards, for example are from that period and you'll really feel like you're stepping into 1780 you certainly do. I mean, I know I felt that it's very charming in here. Um And you certainly, you know, you keep it immaculate. So as we continue our tour, we're going to touch on some of the many events that are taking place at the dimension both in the fall and the winter, John. So stick around with us and we are going to send it back to you in studio, Kimberly Buck News. 12 New Jersey.

And right now, let's fall back into News 12 as we take you to some of the historic places in Wayne News 12. New Jersey's Kimberly Buck is joining us live this morning from Di Mansion, George Washington's old stopping grounds. Kimberly. That's correct. Lauren and Nick, we're finishing up our tour here at the grounds of the Dye Mansion. It is absolutely gorgeous here this morning. It absolutely is. This is the gardens of the dimension, not original to the die period, but actually one of the Olmsted Brothers Garden designs, we just restored it a couple of years ago to the original design. And it's a beautiful folks have had weddings here. Of course, you can see even further behind the passe county golf course. So this is all part of the way that we teach the history of this place when folks come through. So what, what do you see here if you were a visitor, what sites would you see, what would, what would be in full effect, especially this time of year? So we've got obviously all the plantings that bloom year round. Um There's some great stories as you look over behind you. We've got the forge building over there, uh, where you can learn about what it was like when you couldn't just go down to Lowe's for your hardware needs. That's where, uh, you would have had to make back then everything from nails to hinges, to pots and pans. And it's an immersive experience of what it was like to live in that time. Uh, and then we've also got some really unique, interesting stories as we do this work. I'll give you an example right underneath the sun dial that's there in the, in the garden. When we were doing the garden restoration, we discovered the dimensions, privy. So that's their outdoor space for it's a restroom, it's to discard things. And for an archaeologist finding out, you know what a household threw away, he learned a lot about how that household lived. So this is an ongoing archaeological discovery and it's a wonderful place for people to visit year round. And thank you so much for the tour. Before we send it back to you in studio, we should let you know there are two events happening both in the fall, a wine tasting and then the colonial Christmas. And we will get you that information online after after this segment a count or it all there. Thank you so much and I appreciate it. We set it back to you studio in Wayne Kimberly B News 12, New Jersey.
