Hey Wayne, just came accross the thread and did some speed reading to get caught up. Just curious if you ever did any diving in the Denville area back in the day. I was born in Mine Hill and now live in Flanders. Ive fished about every lake in the area, always curious as to whats under me while im out on the boat.
Diving does interest me but is just out of my spending range
Would love to see what left of Old Boonton. Ive always heard that when the water level was low, the old church steeple stuck up out of the water.
I work in Boonton now and pass the reservoir every day, unfortunately its strictly off limits.
The Boonton Historical Society and Museum was founded in 1959 by a group of business people and others who were interested in preserving and promoting Boonton's history, which dates to the mid-1700's. The original village of Boonton now lies under the Jersey City Reservoir. Today's Boonton began in about 1829 as a result of the construction of the Morris Canal and the development of the New Jersey Iron Company.
