A volunteer-run regional history museum in the Kingsland House, a few streets off Route 17 in Rutherford. It keeps permanent displays on the Meadowlands alongside rotating and traveling exhibits, and admission is free with a donation box by the door. It is small, and it opens on most Saturdays only, from ten until four.

A roadside stand on River Road since 1928, where the hot dogs go into the fryer until the casing splits and the result is called a ripper. You can order it barely fried, well done or charred black, and the mustard relish is the other half of the reason people drive here. There is a counter on one side and a bar with table service on the other, and it is open from eight in the morning until ten at night.
