Cather novel to be discussed Not by Bread Alone, a spiritual book discussion group sponsored by the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mahwah will meet on Aug. 15 from 5 to 6 p.m. at Panera Bread, 1300 State Route 17 in Ramsey. This month’s selection is “Death Comes for the Archbishop” by Willa Cather. Cather’s story of the missionary priest Father Jean Marie Latour begins as he arrives in 1851 in the territory of New Mexico, newly acquired by the United States. What he finds is a vast desert region of red hills and tortured arroyos that is American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. Over the next four decades, Latour works gently and tirelessly to spread his faith and to build a soaring cathedral out of the local golden rock while contending with unforgiving terrain, derelict and sometimes rebellious priests, and his own loneliness.

Old Station Museum now open The Mahwah Museum’s Old Station Museum and Erie Caboose have been completely renovated and refurbished and will be open 2 to 4 p.m. on Sundays through October. Built in 1871, this historic was the first railroad station in Mahwah and was preserved by the Mahwah Historical Society in 1968. In the station, the museum has installed a working HO model railroad. A new painting by local artist Gerry Baron shows the station as it was in 1895. There are many other items of railroad memorabilia from the Pullman car days. The caboose was built in 1929 and has been restored based on the original Erie Railroad plans. Visitors can now experience what life on the rails was like for the train crews, who spent much of their time in the caboose. The living space includes a sleeping bunk, desk, and fold-down seat, fold-down table, locker, and cupola seat. Funding for restoration was made possible, in part, through grant funds administered by the Bergen County Department of Parks, Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs through a General Operating Support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a Division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State. The Old Station and Caboose are located at 1871 Old Station Lane in Mahwah. For additional information, visit www.mahwahmuseum.org or call (201) 512-0099.
