[edit] Six Mile Run Reformed Church
The Reformed congregation at Six Mile Run was organized in 1710 by a mission sent out from the Three Mile Run church. The original building lasted until 1817, then a wood frame building was put up, but it burned in 1879 and the present building was erected.
[edit] Six Mile Run Reservoir
The Six Mile Run Reservoir Site is adjacent to the Delaware and Raritan Canal. In 1970, the land for the reservoir was acquired by New Jersey through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resources as a future reservoir and recreation area. The reservoir was never built, and in 1993 the area was transferred to the Division of Parks and Forestry.
