Boonton
The town's economic center, Main
Street, is lined with a mixture of mom-and-pop boutiques and antique
stores, and computer and small Internet companies housed behind
turn-of-the-century brick building facades.
The town was once home to Drew Chemical
and Boonton Moulding. Now, workers can be found walking to catch
the train at the NJ Transit rail station or grabbing a sandwich
or bagel and coffee at the Boonton Diner or one of many delis on
Main Street.
The town is sprinkled with historical
sites, such as the Boonton-Holmes Library, a converted historic
home.
Grace Lord Park and the recently
re-opened Pepe Field provide opportunities for walkers, joggers
and everyone seeking to stretch their legs.
