Take a step back to July 4, 1968, when Main Street came alive with patriotic pride as the Independence Day Parade made its way through downtown Little Falls.

These photographs capture a moment in time where neighbors lined the streets, local organizations marched proudly, and the heart of town gathered to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Today, many of these same blocks are filled with the sights and sounds of the Little Falls Street Fair - a reminder that while traditions evolve, the spirit of community remains unchanged.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we’re grateful to preserve and share these glimpses of the people, places, and celebrations that have shaped Little Falls through the generations.

📸 Swipe through to experience the 1968 parade and see a familiar downtown from a different era.

Do you remember attending these parades—or do you recognize anyone in the photos? We’d love to hear your memories in the comments.

Happy Independence Day from the Little Falls Historical Society! 🇺🇸🎆

Thanks to Larry Furnare of Totowa, NJ, who worked at Little Falls Trophy in the late 70s, for the donation.

“See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet!” Meta won’t let us play that song, but we can show you this car. Around 23 years old then, it’d be 100 now.

April 15 is not just Tax Day, it’s also World Art Day.

Have you seen this painting before? This boldly colored, striking cityscape is none other than Little Falls, New Jersey, which is also the title. Painted by Oscar Bluemner in 1917, this piece has been on display in various locations from Washington D.C. to Oxford, England and even The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it is currently stored.

It’s a great example of early American modernist art. Though it’s abstract, the vibrant colors and simple architectural forms capture the emotion the artist must’ve felt as he painted what was in front of him.

We hope you feel inspired by this small piece of art history too.

From revolutionary ideas to strategic wartime planning, these gathering places shaped the future of a nation.
