Society Meetings

The Pequannock Township Historical Society meets on the first Tuesday of each month except for July, August, and December. We currently assemble at the American Legion Post #242 in Pompton Plains NJ at 7:30 p.m.  Our Events Committee meets monthly at the Martin Berry House.

Please see our calendar for future meeting dates.

We like to feature a guest speaker (nearly) every month after the business portion of our meeting. Perhaps you know of some of our past and future speakers:

  • Ralph Colfax, head of the North Jersey Highlands Historical Society
  • Linda J. Barth, author of A History of Inventing in New Jersey: From Thomas Edison to the Ice Cream Cone
  • Tom Riley, a retired history teacher, local historian, and author of several books about local history

  • Staff of HMR Architects, the architectural authorities guiding the rehab of our 1720 house
  • Lydia Chiappini, a ‘fabric artist’ and authority on vintage clothing

All of our regular meetings are open to the public. Non-members and new members are always welcome!
