Montville Museum, Montville, NJ

The Montville Museum as it stands today. The 150 year anniversary sign respects Montville's separation from Pequannock. The original schoolhouse was built in 1833, the current building which has been used as a town hall, meeting place for the Methodist Church, headquarters for the local temperance movement and even a post office, was built in 1867.

M60 Tank at Montville War Memorial, Montville, NJ

M-60 Tank at the Montville War Memorial

War Memorials are relatively common throughout NJ of course, as anywhere in the United States, and while tanks aren't completely uncommon, their presence usually will draw my camera because they're heavy enough to make them inconvenient enough that most war memorials opt for much lighter and less cumbersome displays. Montville however didn't disappoint and offers the M-60 main battle tank as the centerpiece of its war memorial honoring our nation's veterans generally, and Montville's specifically.
