| Publisher Description: Denville, the "Hub of Morris County," has retained its small-town atmosphere since its early days as a stop for stagecoaches. Iron and good soil attracted the first settlers, but today, its scenic lakes, vibrant downtown, and many festivals attract tens of thousands each year. In this superb image collection from the archives of the Denville Historical Society & Museum, more than 200 images and informative text fill the pages of this township's history. Along with the photographs of buildings, such as the grand Wayside Inn, landscapes, and locals of Denville, are historical figures such as George Washington and William Penn, as well as local legends "Uncle" Jeddy Cooper and Rock Etam. |
