It all started in 1978 with Tom and Betty Sheridan.
Originally opened in 1938 as Clearwater Lodge, Sheridan’s was virtually untouched until 2009. Since then a great deal of the restaurant and tavern has been refurbished. Improvements include: bathrooms, kitchen, party room, inside and outside dining, game room, exterior curb appeal and handicap accessibility. More importantly, the renovations did not remove any of the old world charm that has made Sheridan’s so successful over the years. The building appears unchanged since 1938!

Located close to us at:

The Kittatinny Valley is a relatively flat expanse situated between the Kittatinny Mountains to the west and the Highlands to the east. Two rail trails pass through the valley.
Kittatinny Valley State Park
Within the Kittatinny Valley State Park are four lakes, extensive wetlands, and limestone ridges. The Aeroflex-Andover Airport, operated by the NJ Forest Fire Service, is also within its boundaries but not open to the public.
Scattered throughout are numerous wetlands and open marshes of considerable biological interest. Limestone rock found in the area has created an alkaline soil in which only specially adapted species of plants can grow. Fortunately, many plants have thrived, and these marshes are considered to be places of unusually high natural diversity.
Trails Overview:
A 3-mile segment of the 20-mile Sussex Branch rail trail passes through the park, in addition to an extensive network of 11 blazed trails within the park. Use the Web Map link on this site to view a trail map. Hunting is NOT permitted on park property between Goodale Road and Limecrest Road.
Click to read a detailed description of a hike in the park.
Also administered by Kittatinny Valley State Park are the 27-mile Paulinskill Valley rail trail (friends group: Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee), and the Mount Paul Wildlife Management Area (click for a trail map) with 10 blazed trails totaling 10 miles, located north of Mahlon Dickerson Reservation.

I love digging for "treasure" at these shops. Every once in a while, I do find a gem. The shops are clean and have a great inventory at all times. The staff is friendly I do become nostalgic here, though. There used to be more shops here. 2 or 3 of them are now closed.
Stop in and check them out if you're in the Andover area!
