Mahwah Scout Builds Website Dedicated To Town's History

MAHWAH, NJ – As part of her efforts to earn a Gold Award, a Mahwah Girl Scout created a website dedicated to township history.

Natalia Fay’s website, "History of Mahwah: Then and Now," seeks to give residents a better sense of community by providing them with background on Mahwah’s roots.

“Our town, its past, present and future cannot persist without the togetherness of its citizens,” Fay said of her project.

The teen's site features an interactive map with information about schools, train depots and noteworthy estates, as well as the Nike Missile Base, Pal’s Diner and the ABEX campus. There’s also details about local historic sites, as well as a summary of the town’s history and development.

The Mahwah Historic Preservation Commission said it plans on adding more historic sites to Fay’s page in the future.

Besides Fay, two other Mahwah Girl Scouts, Mary Nelson and Charlette Fruscione, also received their Gold Awards. Scouts Olivia Fitzgerald, Caroline Fruscione and Caroline Passaro earned Silver Awards.
