Dear Friends,
Community leaders pointed to the need for a new non-profit organization to help launch the Paterson National Park and enhance its educational, social, and economic benefits for Paterson and the nation. That's why we formed the Hamilton Partnership for Paterson. Learn more about our mission and how you can participate.

America's New National Park

The Paterson Great Falls is the most historic place that virtually no one in America has ever heard of, let alone visited. Soon that will change. On November 7, 2011, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar dedicated America's newest national park. It will be a National Park like no other. Learn more.

Building for the Future

To celebrate Paterson's past, we look to the future. The Paterson National Park will be a vital contributing part of the community. The National Park will provide a vehicle for economic progress and a source of local pride, and the Park will help transform the image of Paterson for living and investment. Learn more.

Mill Mile Audio Tour App Launched

Mill Mile BrochureThe Hamilton Partnership released the Mill Mile audio tour smartphone app, the latest dimension of our gritty city self-guided walking tour of the Paterson Great Falls National Park.

Why is one of America's newest national parks at the Great Falls in Paterson, New Jersey? Mill Mile answers that question. The audio tour shares not only historic and cultural information, but also commentary from both younger and older voices, including 21st century immigrants, reflecting on the diversity of the city. Words from public figures with Paterson ties will supplement these messages, featuring NBC's Brian Williams, NFL star and Paterson son Victor Cruz, MacArthur Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Ron Chernow, Broadway composer Lin Manuel-Miranda, and a diverse mix of other friends of Paterson.

Mill Mile is available for free download on iTunes and Google Play. No smartphone or iPod touch? You can access the audio tour from your cell phone by dialing 973-582-0654.

Or you can follow the self-guided Mill Mile brochure, available for download here or at www.MillMile.org.
