Fort Lee’s Museum found a home in the Judge Moore House. The renovated 20th century stone edifice (built by Judge Moore in 1922, out of Palisade Blue Stone) opened in April 1999. The Fort Lee Historical Society occupies the building and uses it as both a facility to archive material and display various photos, objects, documents, and films from our glorious past.

The Fort Lee Film Commission actively raises funds to preserve films made in Fort Lee and works with filmmakers who support the promotion of Fort Lee’s role as the birthplace of the American film industry. The Commission has worked with the Fort Lee Public Library and its director and film scholar Rita Altamora to digitize the library’s collection of over 1000 stills of Fort Lee-related film/studio history. These skills will eventually be made available to the public through websites and the Library database. The Cliffhanger Film Festivals are an annual series of spring and fall film festivals, celebrating Fort Lee’s role as the birthplace of the motion picture industry.

Parks – Fort Lee is home to many beautiful parks and recreation activities. The Palisade Interstate Park is probably the most beautiful and exciting one with its many hiking trails and stunning views. Among the many parks are The Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenpac) offers world-class entertainment just around the corner.The Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) was conceived in the echoing corridors, empty rehearsal rooms and grand performance hall of the former John Harms Center, which closed to the shock and heartbreak of Bergen County’s large community of culture lovers, families, and students. In April 2003, a group of concerned citizens, headed by Englewood resident Frank Huttle III, formed bergenPAC and developed a business plan to forge a true public/private partnership, engaging all sectors of the community and bringing together corporations, governments and residents, each adding the commitment and support necessary to revitalize this unique arts center.

Shopping – Fort Lee is home to many stores of all sorts. Its downtown is vibrant and bustling with the feel of a big town
