According to Montclair Local, programs happen at three spots: the Judy Weston Garden at Watchung Park, Erie Park beside the Walnut Street station, and Montclair Art Museum. For a full month, attendees can learn how rail lines changed roads, buildings, and how people lived.
Six stations serve Montclair. No other New Jersey township packs that many into such a small space. Rail access made the town what it became.
Two new illustrated maps will hang at the Judy Weston Garden. Artist Elly Otharsson designed them with help from Montclair History Center. The center will also lead a Walk and Talk about trains and their impact on the area.
Montclair Art Museum plans art projects, outdoor fun, and a tour. Their new exhibition is called Shifting Terrain: Perspectives on Land in North America. It examines how travel, roads, and people change the land around them.
Kids can hear train stories at Montclair Public Library’s storytime in the garden. Indie band Jason Didner and the GSPs will play tunes about locomotives, trips, and what brings us together.
Anyone can join, no matter their age. Walk through the town’s history. Make art. Hear how tracks transformed this place.
