Author Bio
The photographs, postcards, and maps in this book are taken from the collection of the Millburn-Short Hills Historical Society, the Item, and individuals who have graciously allowed personal memorabilia to become part of the collection. The book is designed as a series of tours of sections of Millburn Township. You are invited to travel the route, contemplate the familiar, and rediscover that which has been lost to time. Owen Lampe was raised in Millburn and attended local schools. His fascination with the buildings and the history of the town and its residents led him to become an inveterate collector of related photographs, memorabilia, and writings.
