Upcoming Events

M.A.R.C.H. is celebrating the season by hosting an extended offering of its annual Holiday Weekends. Come experience a wonderful Christmas tour through the historic c. 1790 Foster-Armstrong House, which sports a Dutch Gambrel roof. The house, specially decorated for the holidays, is located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area at 320 River Rd./ C.R. 521 in Montague, NJ - north of the Milford Bridge, and maintained by an agreement between MARCH and the National Park Service.

             The house will open between the hours of 1pm and 4pm on the following Saturdays and Sundays: Nov. 28th and 29th, Dec. 5th and 6th and Dec. 12th and 13th  [weather-permitting].

            At the culmination of Montague’s celebration of its 250th anniversary, you will be able to "visit" key places from the township's past.  Featured will be the Minisink Reformed Church, whose congregation dates to 1737 and its current structure to 1889. Aspects of the Martin Cole Store will be recreated, along with an old-fashioned Barber Shop, a Post Office, and the Brick House Hotel. Items representing the Foster and Armstrong families' connections with this colonial farmhouse will be on display.

             Also recalled will be the famed Rock View hotel, which sat on upper River Rd., and the one room Brick House schoolhouse in the village. Santa will make a special appearance Sat. Dec. 5th as will “townspeople” to give visitors an experience of stepping back in time.

            Costumed society volunteers will be on hand to welcome and tour the special exhibits with visitors. It's a great opportunity to stop by this historic site, enjoy refreshments, and get into the spirit of the holiday season. Come browse the books and the handmade craft items offered for sale in the society's gift shop that help to support the organization. Copies of the book entitled Montague are still available for purchase. No admission fee is charged, though donations are welcomed.
