Tour Overview
Architectural and historical walking tour of a quaint Victorian town in rural New Jersey
Tour constructed as a partnership between Belvidere Heritage, Inc. and the Community Center @ Belvidere.
Belvidere was established as a town in 1845, the natural growth from a fort on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers. Garrett D. Wall acquired a large tract of land from a family in need of relief and offered a portion of it to the newly created Warren County as a location for their courthouse. Included in the gift was a park and property for three churches. His other plots nearby sold quickly, and the bulk of the town, which had earlier centered north of the Pequest River, grew southward and eastward.
Included in the walking tour are buildings of various eras, including Colonial, Federal, Victorian, Craftsman, and Art Deco. While observing the rich variety of architecture, the town's history will come alive and you'll meet some of the prominent founders and personages who were instrumental in creating what you see today.
