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:
“Hearing the low sound
of a cloud scattering rain
at midnight
and thinking for an eternity
on his absent young wife,
a traveller heaved a sigh
and with a flood of tears
howled the whole night long.
Now, villagers won’t let him stay
in their place anymore.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
