Know your History?

Anyone interested in the origins of Montague, or that of the overall Delaware River valley can gain some insights by stopping at the Foster-Armstrong House at 320 River Rd /CR 521 or the Nelden-Roberts Stonehouse at 501 Route 206 - to see exhibits and artifacts representative of this area. MARCH volunteers are your tour guides. 

NO admission is charged - but the society welcomes new members and any donations to assist with the maintenance of their sites.

Know all 4 verses of our National Anthem?

courtesy  copycatcrafter 

200 years ago, it was on Sept. 14th, 1814 

that Francis Scott Key wrote the words of the Star-Spangled Banner 

as he viewed our flag flying at Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. 

His composition was adopted in 1931 by President Herbert Hoover

 as our official national anthem.

The Grange Hall is on River Rd. [CR 521] between Millville & Weider Rd.'s.
It continues to be maintained and used by Montague Grange, No. 140,
though acquired during the Tocks Island project.
The building has a ramp entry - no steps!

Recalling Sept. 11th, 2001

It doesn't seem as if it's been thirteen years -  since the morning that forever changed the tone of life in America. Just like those old enough to recall the day Pres. Kennedy was assassinated, those who saw the unfolding of what 

occurred that day - will never forget: where they were, how they saw or learned what had happened, nor shake off the lingering sadness of the many lives snuffed out on that fateful day.

We must NEVER FORGET the individuals who died on that day 

at the Twin Towers, at the Pentagon, and 

the heroism exhibited by those who thwarted United Flight 93

hitting a 4th target - by sacrificing their own lives.
