• Proceeds Will Benefit Historic Restoration Effort
The "Van Riper Street Fair" is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 6.
The annual event is a fund-raiser for the on-going restoration work at the VanRiper House on River Road.
The historic house was built by John Bradbury shortly after he purchased the land in 1696. He lived in the house until his death in 1741. His widow continued to occupy the home thereafter. The home is one of the finest examples of early Dutch stone houses.
Work on the restoration project is being advanced by the volunteer members of the Van Riper Trust. Patti Williams, the group's president, says the annual Van Riper Street Fair is its major fundraiser.
