“Everything changes,” they say, “except God and Belvidere.” Pretty as a picture postcard, the tiny town of Belvidere, New Jersey (population about 2,681 according to the 2010 census), lies along the east bank of the Delaware River close to the Delaware Water Gap. “It is a serene and peaceful blend of finely maintained Colonial and Victorian mansions,” according to a Belvidere Chamber of Commerce Victorian Days flyer dated September 10, 1988.
