The October 18, 1896 edition of the New York Times carried an article about a commemorative “bowlder” to be installed in the Millburn-Short Hills area…but where is it now?
Millburn’s July Fourth celebration is always particularly significant for our community because of the noteworthy role Millburn played in the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Springfield. With the American army strategically placed in Morristown, and surrounded by a protective ring of mountains, General Washington shrewdly reasoned that the British and Hessians would want to move in from New York to capture Morristown. The most practical way to get past the ring of mountains that stood between the British and Morristown’s iron forges, supplies, and the American army was to go through a gap in that mountain ring and along the road to Morristown that was at Hobart Gap. In anticipation, then, of the incursion of the enemy soldiers via that …

Artist and Millburn resident, Victoria Plummer, paints a local picture.
Victoria Plummer was asked for a favor and she just couldn't resist. Her children went to the Millburn Co-op Nursery School and even though they have gone on to elementary school, Victoria still felt an attachment to the co-op. So when the school asked her to paint the new mural by the entrance, she said yes. "Both my daughters went to the Millburn Co-op, and I have fond memories of our days there, so I was happy to help out when they asked me to do the mural." she said. It was time to replace the previous mural by another alumni parent, Joy Seigel, which had begun to peel. Adrienne Topping, co-director of the school, chose Victoria because "... she is a wonderful artist." When asked why the school wanted the mural, Topping replied, "The …

Lovely photo. It's unfortunate the pond is neglected and 95% of the time is nothing but an inches-deep puddle surrounded by mud, garbage, and debris. more ›
