Review & FAQ:
Boonton is famous for being a significant link along the Underground Railroad that helped 40,000 slaves escape to their freedom in Canada.
Many noteworthy abolitionists vigorously undertook their anti-slavery work from this small town.
The town’s immigrant population grew up around Boonton Falls – as impressive as Paterson Great Falls – which powered the iron industry here.
Boonton is also the original home of the classic Boontonware melamine tableware. Today, visitors will appreciate the town’s antique stores, eclectic restaurants, and natural beauty.
Grace Lord Park, with its falls, fountain, and gazebo, is the town’s gathering place for summer concerts and other events.
