First come, first serve. Only 25 spots available. Contact Ed at (973) 839-6384. ------------------------------- [My Comments Below] There is a lot of intersting people buried in the cemetery and a lot of history in the church itself. This is something really neat to be a part of. Many people from around this area of morris & Passaic counties, (not just Pompton Plains/Pequannock) are buried here. I hope this leads to additional "Historic Tours". The church is at 529 Newark Pompton Turnpike, easily accessible from Route 23 North in Wayne (exit for newark-pompton turnpike/Pequannock and stay on the turnpike for about 4 miles, town hall parking lot on the right) or from Route 23 south [just south of Riverdale/Route 287], exit for newark pompton turnpike/Pompton Plains (Not Riverdale). Town Hall will be on the left about 2 miles. Then, stay for the free concert [rain or shine) inside Friendship Hall (directly next to the church itself on the church grounds) at 4:00 pm by the 119 year old Bloomingdale Cornet Band (marches, Broadway, patriotic songs, etc.).
