2007 Flood
The Steuben House suffered little in the way of permanent damage in the April 2007 nor'easter. However, the Bergen County Historical Society collections that had been moved to the second floor in previous floods, had been left on the first floor, and numerous artifacts were damaged or destroyed. This NJ State Historic site is currently opened by volunteers for special events.

Famous quotes containing the word flood:
“There are flood and drouth
Over the eyes and in the mouth,
Dead water and dead sand
Contending for the upper hand.
The parched eviscerate soil
Gapes at the vanity of toil,
Laughs without mirth.
This is the death of the earth.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
