MAHWAH, NJ – How well do you know the township's history?

Locals can put their knowledge to the test on March 12, when Mahwah Museum hosts its second Mahwah history trivia night at the Mahwah Bar and Grill, 2 Island Road.

Attendees can join a team of four or bring their friends for the competition, which, the museum said, is focused on all things having to do with Mahwah history. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team and a door prize will be given to one lucky participant.
