EDGEBROOK SCHOOL - Circa 1900

The graphic above relates information on the old Edgebrook School which was located on the North West corner of Klockner Road and Route 13, across from today's sprawling Hamilton Marketplace. The old school served farm children from the area, including from the neighboring "Grafton" and Dilatush farms on the Hamilton-Robbinsville border. The hand written letter from Emily Moyer would have ended up in the recycle bin had it not been for my friend and former Mayor Al DeMartin who agreed with me that the material should be saved for posterity. Accordingly, there are many very historic documents in the collection I and Al saved from the recycle bin.

1915: DEDICATING THE NEW EDGEBROOK SCHOOL

The article above does NOT refer to the photo of the original Edgebrook school, shown in the photo. The article is referring to the red brick school house on Route 130 that was closed years ago. Most recently it was the meeting place of the American Legion.

Thanks to Gary Lippincott (http://www.blogger.com/www.grovevillememories.blogspot.com), I have learned that the veterans' building that I couldn't remember was POST 31. Thanks, Gary....you're the best.

1915: EDGEBROOK SCHOOL

Not many people know there was once an Edgebrook School. It was located on today's Route 130 at the intersection of Klockner Road, across from the U.S. Postal Service facility. A red brick building still exists on the site, and I think I read where there is a move afoot to demolish the building to adjust for traffic flow.
