He spent much of his life studying art, and in the 1970s began creating Xerox art under the name Dark Dusting. In addition, Sunday collaborated with his wife, Joy Sikorski, on several children’s books including the Paterson-inspired Squeaky Chalk, published in 2000. He continued to study and create art throughout his life, attending SUNY Albany in 1974, Skidmore College in 1978, and graduating from Hampshire College’s school of communications and computer science in 1984. Throughout his life, he maintained an interest in art and graphic design, occasionally offering classes on various art techniques to local children. Nick Sunday was an independent historian and researcher whose focus was primarily on the history of Paterson and its surrounding areas. To that end, he established the Jennie Tuttle Hobart Museum in 1993, the name of which he later attempted to change to The Paterson Museum, and which was eventually disbanded in 1995. In 2000, he established the Alexander Hamilton National Memorial. He created frequent newsletters pertaining to Paterson history and culture throughout the mid-1990s and early 2000s, titled Mary Ellen and Salamander, and often appeared in local newspapers discussing the history of the city. One of Sunday’s primary interests was the city plan for Paterson which was originally drawn by Pierre Charles L’Enfant.

TOUR OF THE AMERICAN LABOR MUSEUM / BOTTO HOUSE NATIONAL LANDMARK (HALEDON) The American Labor Museum is housed in the 1908 Botto House National Landmark. The Botto House was built for and owned by Italian immigrant and silk mill worker, Pietro Botto and his wife Maria. From the balcony of the Botto House in 1913, labor union organizers of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) addressed as many as 20,000 silk mill workers who were on strike for an eight‐hour workday. Because it served as a haven for free speech and assembly for these laborers, the Botto House was placed on the State and National Register of Historic Sites in 1975. In 1982, the Botto House became a National Landmark when the United States Department of the Interior placed it on the nation's most distinguished roster of historic sites. Since 1983, it has been open to the public as a museum dedicated to the history and contemporary issues of workers, the workplace, and organized labor with special attention to the ethnicity of working people. 10:45 ‐ 11:45 am .
