This Day in History: 1957-02-19

Shortly after noon both Mahwah Fire Companies responded to an alarm at the Ramapo Water Gardens.  They found a barn burning but were able to do little to save it as it already was burning fiercely.  (The Ramapo Water Gardens, at one time a major tourist attraction in Mahwah occupied the site of the Devenshire School on Valley Road.)
