What a beautiful day and walk in the woods this past Sunday, November 4, 2018. We hiked through sections of Mountain Lakes Park and caught a glorious view to the north from a spot close to where the Port of Missing Men tavern once stood. Afterwards lunch at the White Elephant where numerous photos were on display as well as one of the original Registry books. Some 20,000 people traveled great distances to see this property in the early 1900s. Now we know why!The current historical display in the Library conference room is "Taverns, Inns, Hotels and Restaurants." It shows how in the earlier days these establishments followed two main routes - the Post Road and the Route 22 corridor, and then there were a few "off the beaten path." Stop by and see a photo display of some old and a few not so old memorabilia. There's a map to guide you and more details on each, which will ultimately become a bulletin for our members. It pays to be a member! This display will not be up too much longer, so please stop by! We recently received a donation of benches from Therese Donahue, and trustee Peter Bliss has spruced them up with a fresh coat of stain. See how perfectly matched they are for our patio with grindstone centerpiece: Thanks to all who hiked through Mill Hollow with us. What a wonderful day!
