New Jersey State Parks 
                                                                                           MARCH hosts Kevin Woyce -

Some of New Jersey's most exciting history can be found in our more than two dozen State Parks.Old names such as Wawayanda and Hopatcong remind us of the Lenni Lenape, or "Original People."
Historic battlefields recall New Jersey's perilous years as "the Crossroads of the American Revolution."
Abandoned forges still speak of our first great industry, and we can trace the beginnings of our transportation network in the paths of the Morris and the Delaware & Raritan Canals.

New addition officially wet-down!
           The traditional welcoming ceremony originated among east coast fire departments - when changing out old fire pumpers for the new, with the horses being unhitched and water transferred to the new apparatus. The new pumper would be dried off after its wet down and it was then pushed into the stall - ready for service.
Come out to support the Grange & enjoy local home-grown talent!

 August 14th marked the 75th anniversary of the completion of the Appalachian Trail in 1937 .. also known as the A.T. which crosses Montague's eastern boundary.

The A.T. is the longest hiking-only footpath in the world, measuring roughly 2,180 miles in length.  The task of building the original trail took more than fifteen years. It involved  volunteers, state and federal agency partners, local Trail-maintaining clubs, workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps -stationed at High Point Park, and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
