In the early days of Montclair’s settlement, Watchung Avenue divided the Dutch farmlands of Speertown in the north end of today’s Montclair from the English farmlands of Cranetown. All that changed when the railroad came through in the late 1800s. Developers bought the farms and created business districts and housing around the new stations. This walk, which begins at Edgemont Park, takes you through a turn-of-the-century business district and commuter suburb, developed between 1900 and 1930.
$15/person. Advance registration is encouraged to guarantee your spot.
