Fairleigh Dickinson University’s MAY 2017 Florham Campus Anointed A New Jersey “Treasure” his month, NJTV is proud to introduce Treasures of New Jersey, a new documentary series that pays homage to some of the Garden State’s most iconic places, from historic landmarks and cultural centers to popular destinations. The debut episode features an architectural jewel from the gilded age: the former estate known as Florham, now a Fairleigh Dickinson T University campus in Morris County, New Jersey. The estate, named for the multi-millionaire couple who built it in the 1890s—Florence Adele Vanderbilt, granddaughter of railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, and her husband Hamilton Twombly—has a mansion with more than 100 rooms and grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Florence Vanderbilt Twombly and one of her daughters were wealthy enough to continue living at Florham until the mid-1950’s. After they died within two years of each other, the family chose to subdivide and sell the estate. Fairleigh Dickinson University, which had a campus in Rutherford and another in Teaneck-Hackensack, decided to add a third campus and purchased the mansion and more than 100 acres surrounding it. Over the decades, the University has worked to maintain the historic buildings, grounds and gardens including the mansion itself, which now houses classrooms and offices featuring marble fireplaces imported from Europe, a sweeping staircase to the family’s rooms and other remarkable relics of the gilded age. Said NJTV General Manager John Servidio, “We’re looking forward to Florham being the first of many places profiled in Treasures of New Jersey. Those of us who live in the state know there are countless iconic places that can, and should, be celebrated.” SERIES PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, MAY 10 AT 8PM Learn more at Treasures of New Jersey follows in the footsteps of the popular local series Treasures of njtvonline.org/programs/treasures-of-new-jersey New York, produced by WNET affiliate WLIW.
