View the interior of the Merriam shoe factory, as well as many of the town's commercial and residential streets. The vast majority of the images are drawn from author Wayne T. McCabe's monumental collection of postcards and photographs of Sussex County, collected over a period of nearly 20 years. Most of the photographs were made between 1860 and 1920 and reflect a time of growth and change in Newton's history. Additional images have been provided by Jan Gminder of the Nostalgia Shop in Newton, the Historical Society of Stillwater Township, and the archives of the New Jersey Herald.
