The Morris County Traction Company: Bill Greenberg Recalls the Trolley

From 1904 to 1928, the Morris
County Traction Company was the only trolley system in Morris
County. Starting in Dover, it ran all the way to Newark via Morristown, Morris
Plains and Summit, with service to Bertrand Island Amusement Park, Ledgewood
and Succasunna. Some wide streets, such as Broadway in Denville and Broad
Street in Summit, were built to accommodate the trolley line. On Thursday
November 14 at 7:30 p.m., Bill Greenberg will present an illustrated talk about
the Morris County Traction Company at the Bethel on Trinity Park in Mount
Tabor. Park at the Mt Tabor Methodist Church and walk up the path beside the Post Office at 26 Simpson Ave.  This free
program is hosted by the Mount Tabor Historical Society. For directions go to www.mounttabornj.org or
