Verse for Thought

"For if by one man's offense death reigned through the one , much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ."

({Romans 5:17 NKJV})

Located one block off NJ 15 on Morris Farm Rd. in Lafayette Center, the 3.5 story grist & feed mill, one story stone and 2.5 frame, had various orderly appendages that were used as feed storage during milling operations from 1840 until 1930, but are now utilized as retail shops. The mill used a undershot water wheel during operations, drawing water from the Paulins Kill.

The now Lafayette Antiques Center, was created from the old mill sometime before fall 1992. It was renovated into retail shops such as; a General store, a carriage barn, vaudeville theatre, and numerous antique and collectables shops. Antique shows are held in September and October of each year. Address: Rt. 3, PO Box 350, Morris Farm Rd., Lafayette, N.J. 07848.
