Spotswood

Images of America: Spotswood features a century's worth of photographs and stories about the town, which has grown from a summer resort area to a thriving World War II-era commercial center to the modern bedroom community that it is today. Included are views of historic tobacco mills and the 1890s Carriage House, which still stands today. Vintage photographs of early people and industries are seen, along with the borough's first school-a 1901 four-room building that became the Margaretta M. Birchall School, which closed its doors in 1979.
