In What Year Did the Morris Canal Dam Become Operational?
We stumped you this week, Jefferson.

Most weeks, when we put out our J-Town Trivia Challenges, we get proof of something we already knew: the people of Jefferson really know their community.
But this week, Jefferson, we had you stumped. We asked:
In what year did the dam for the Morris Canal become operational, leading the Great Pond and Little Pond to become Lake Hopatcong?

The anwer we were going for (but that unfortunately no one got this week) was 1826.
So for this week, our Patch swag stays in the prize closet, but we appreciate the enthusiasm of everyone who chimed in with best guesses. And we'll have a new J-Town Trivia challenge ready for you Monday, when you'll have a fresh chance at some Patch gear and goodies.
