| Stop 4: The Canfield House, 5 Maple Street (Private Home) | |||||
| This house was built around 1800 for Israel Canfield, proprietor of Canfield and Wetmore's General Store, and served as the first manse of the Methodist Church during the 1840s. This neighborhood was the Town's first commercial district, as the Morris and Essex Railroad ran along Maple Avenue. In the mid-nineteenth century, the railroad moved its route to the other side of the Green, when plans to re-route the tracks across Bank St. Gulch and over the hill behind the Courthouse failed. | ![]() |
