The Morris Canal, a true piece of New Jersey history

A photo in the Sunday Star-ledger caught my eye.


It’s a picture of a Morris Canal plane house located in Bloomfield, New Jersey.


(I must confess, that at the age of 7, a counselor told us Camp Loyaltown hikers near Hunter, New York, that we were going to see an "inclined plane." Now, I knew that an incline meant a hill or a rise, but, boy, was I disappointed when I didn’t see a Cessna nose down in the ground.)

There are some good publications on the Morris Canal, the remnants of which are located throughout the northern part of the state from the west to Jersey City, and a quick on-line search will reveal them
