Holiday Shopping In Montclair: Replica Maps Of Town Available

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Montclair History Center. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.

Looking for a unique gift this holiday season? Just in time for the holiday season, we’re offering personalized replica maps of your neighborhood from three different years: the 1906 Atlas: This beautiful Atlas divides Montclair into seven “Plates,” each includes a part of town. Was your house built by then or was the lot still pastures? Was the street even there? Who owned the property? 1926 Tax Map: We chose 1926 because it’s so unique -- a vivid bright blue with white type, much like an architectural blueprint. Each map covers about five or six blocks and lists streets and property owners.

How does it work? You provide the address and we’ll take care of the rest. Posters are printed on high-quality paper, suitable for framing, fits standard frame sizes, identify the map source and year, and are personalized for your address. For pricing and to order online visit https://www.montclairhistory.org/historic-montclair-maps-for-sale. Your purchase of a replica historic map supports Montclair History Center’s ongoing efforts to preserve Montclair history, educate others about it, and share the stories of the people who have made Montclair what it is today.
