Verona Historical Society - Travel back in time to the historic Canfield/Morgan House

The Verona Historical Society invites you to join them on Tuesday, October 2 at 7:30 pm for a special visit to the historic Canfield/Morgan House.


This wonderful property is a 14 acre site that was farmed continuously from the mid-1800's until 1985.  Benjamin Canfield built the farmhouse around 1845 when Cedar Grove and Verona were part of Caldwell Township. The Morgan family purchased the house in 1910. When Courtenay Morgan died he donated the farm to the Township of Cedar Grove.  


Today the 1845 house functions as a museum depicting it much as it was in the early 1900's, with related farm equipment in the barn. The museum contains artifacts that trace the history of Cedar Grove.  One can view Mrs. Morgan's bedroom with her clothing and letters.  Other rooms have display cases and furniture typical of the period.
