Imagine the life of a silk baron in the 19th century. Grand estate, lavish parties, extensive artwork collection. You can experience it vicariously at Lambert Castle. That’s in New Jersey (bet you had a different destination in mind, now didn’t you!). Modeled after an English castle by silk baron Catholina Lambert, the stately manor overlooks the city of Paterson from Garret Mountain. Now a museum, it houses period rooms and collections on the first floor, permanent exhibits featuring local history, folk arts and portraiture on the second floor and revolving exhibits on the third floor. Only $5 for adults; visiting hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
