Montague did not escape the trauma that came soon after in the s when more property along the river was condemned in anticipation of the Tocks Island Dam project.
The proposed reservoir that would inundate the entire Delaware Valley from here to the Water Gap never came to be, but hundreds of families were displaced, their abandoned homes scattered throughout the newly created National Recreation Area.
One of those was the Foster-Armstrong house which was purchased by the National Park Service in from descendants of the family that had lived there since , when Julius Foster built a wood frame Georgian style house for partial use as a tavern, with a two-story porch and a Dutch gambrel roof.
The house and property, which became an active dairy farm until the s, were rescued from advancing deterioration in the s and are now headquarters for the Montague Association for the Restoration of Community History MARCH.
The artifacts that you see displayed in the house belong to us. We insist that they must come from Montague, either current residents or from families that at one point lived here. Every room in the Foster-Armstrong house is furnished or used to display historical items: furniture, pictures, papers, cooking utensils, clothing items, and so forth, given by local people who feel this museum is the best place for them. One room is filled with military items donated or on loan from local families: uniforms, photos, personal accounts and medals from the Civil War to our more recent activities.
Upstairs, a collection of quilts that date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries includes one made in to raise funds to rebuild the Minisink Reformed Church which had burned to the ground. The old attic is being converted into a special display area. The house also is home to the only public historical resource library, including historic documents, family histories and memorabilia that span to the incorporation of the town in the s.
In , when owners were restoring a nearby house on property that originally belonged to the first founding families, they were delighted to find ledgers, schoolbooks, and other documents from previous occupants in the attic.
Much of this documentation was donated to MARCH to further their research of the Millville historic district and has proven invaluable not only in detailing information about the home and its past owners, but also about the surrounding community. Soon after is the Tamerlaine Farm at River Road, where Peter Nussbaum and Gabrielle Stubbert moved in to their dream house in the country where they could grow the good food that they loved in a peaceful rural community.
In , the couple adopted a pair of neglected roosters, Yuri and Jupiter, who would change their lives. Their attachment to these two birds grew to a serious dedication to farm animal rescue, and they soon found themselves sharing their forty-acre farm with more than two-hundred chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, pigs, turkeys and rabbits.
In , just over the ridge from Tamerlaine, the historic Westfall Farm came up for sale on Clove Road. Easily recognized by lines of white post and rail fence, clipped lawns, bright barns and a low-slung elegant house built in , the acres at Westfall not only create a stunning backdrop, but speak a long and rich agricultural history.
In the early nineteenth century the farm became a stop on the Underground Railroad for fugitive slaves. Succeeding generations of the Westfall family operated the farm until when Charles G. Mortimer, Sr. Mortimer, who would achieve eminence as President of General Foods Corporation, modernized the farm and kindled a thriving dairy business, while enthusiasm for equine activity also inspired the installation of Morgan horses which gradually took precedence, as fishing ponds and hayfields replaced cow pastures, refining the rough and tumble dairy into a stately horse farm.
We have ten employees who take care of the animals, and we are a c3 non-profit. So my wife spent six months reaching out to foundations. She kept trying. The Museum of Natural History is coming up to look at it. Some first-time customers express surprise upon encountering a pizza place in Montague, and Concalves said his menu is adaptable. At least 70 percent of Montague is owned by either the state or federal governments, and walled off from development.
