• Montville Township Landmarks: Game Town (tapinto.net) — A once-iconic Pine Brook building on Hook Mountain Road, remembered as Game Town, Rich’s Hobbytowne, and originally a 19th-century Methodist church, has a rich but now-vanished presence in Montville’s landscape. Local historians and the Montville Historic Preservation Commission fought to save the structure before its demolition around 2010, and residents can still explore its story through the Montville Township Historical Society.
