    My siblings and I were born and raised in Perth Amboy. It will always remain a special place in our hearts. Very rich history! Thank you for all that you do to document that history.

    Thank you for these wonderful pictures and fascinating narration! Were any of the gravestones from Eagleswood preserved? It’s such a shame that all of these historic buildings are all gone. Lost…Thanks to the careless Perth Amboy town fathers….

    Thank you for this video. I am researching Clarence Sibley 1864-1924 he was an important maker of stained glass lighting in the 1905-1915 period. I’m looking for a picture of the old Music Hall that was at 183 High Street, and one of Sibley. Please comment if you have either. Thanks!

    I see the waterfront trail has been rebuilt, although it took them a long time.
