Autumn Leaving
Bundle up and enjoy! There is much to do, but time flies by. Only two weeks until Thanksgiving!
Watershed Moments
Pohatcong Creek drifts through the lower valley.
Geologic record helps understand the human history and impacts of settlement and lifestyles in each of our watersheds, which take on regional characteristics of their own, connecting communities by a shared vital resource. Following Pohatcong Mountain, another of the many Appalachian ridges that run through Warren County, the Pohatcong Watershed lies parallel and between those of the Musconetcong River to the south and the Pequest to the north. Follow the river!
Dogmatic Attitude
Mrs. Geraldine R. Dodge and son Marcellus Hartley, Jr. (From the collections of the North Jersey History Center/The Morristown and Morris Township Library).
Of all the things that Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge left behind—the thirty-five room mansion, hundreds of acres of prime real estate in one of the nation's wealthiest counties, a Fifth Avenue townhouse, enough sterling silver trophies and bronze sculptures to sink a small ship, museum quality paintings, and a forty-four carat sapphire, St. Hubert's Giralda may have been the one she valued most; a haven for unhappy dogdom.
Along the Western Front
This small stone building is believed to be the ruins of Fort Carmer, one of a line of forts from the French and Indian War.
Two decades before the American Revolution, the Royal Province of New Jersey was forced to protect its northwestern frontier along the Delaware River from the increasing threat of marauding Indians. A line of forts and blockhouses were commissioned from Belvidere through what is now the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, to Port Jervis, New York, with soldiers patrolling between them during the French and Indian War. Get out your hiking shoes, pump up your bike tires, or warm up the car and trace this line of forts!
Up A Lazy River
The nine-mile stretch of Sussex County river wetlands north of Hamburg has given rise to the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge, a haven for more than 225 species of birds, a wide variety of fish and wildlife; and those who love to watch them.
Three historic buildings will be open with talented crafters and interesting vendors to fill your holiday shopping list. Presented by the all-volunteer, nonprofit, Heritage and Agriculture Association, Inc., in cooperation with the NJ DEP/Division of Parks and Forestry.
