Pequannock Township Historical Society
|
|
|
|
|
| Our Society exists to preserve and document the
history of Pequannock Township. Membership is open to anyone with an
interest in local history.
|
| What does the Society do? |
|
| We educate the public about the
history of the township. We are also active in local historical
preservation projects including material for the township museum. We are currently preparing historical walking tour
guidebooks and working toward the reprint of George Parr's 1990 Book, History
of Pequannock Township.
We participate in the annual Memorial Day Parade and assist in a
presentation of historical material at Grace Chapel after the parade. We
also prepare an exhibit for the annual Hoe-Down, held in Greenview Park in
September. Frequently, we work in conjunction with other organizations
such as the Pequannock Library and the Pequannock Township Historic District Commission.
|
| When does the Society Meet? |
|
| The Society meets monthly,
generally on the fourth Wednesday of a month (except July & Dec). The schedule is determined at
the beginning of each year and may vary depending on activities we are
involved with. There is no meeting
schedule yet for 2009. Meetings normally take place inside the
Pequannock Museum at the Pompton Plains Railroad Station, located on the
corner of Jackson Ave and Evans Place.

Is there a Museum in Pequannock?

Railroad Station, located at the corner of Evans Place and Jackson Avenue, and
is owned by the Township of Pequannock. Members of both the Pequannock Historical
