THE MADISON<br />

EXPERIENCE<br />

Bridging past and present,<br />

Madison has long extended a<br />

welcome to newcomers and visitors.<br />

BY ANDREW FARINACCIO<br />

Photographs: Glen Clark<br />

• MADISON TRAIN STATION<br />

W<br />

hat began as Bottle Hill, a humble village established<br />

around 1715, is now a thriving center of culture and<br />

commerce in the heart of New Jersey. Before Madison<br />

was Madison, or even Bottle Hill, for that matter, it was<br />

home to the Lenape people. Europeans first arrived<br />

during the British colonial period; a Presbyterian church<br />

built in 1747 anchored the early settlement. Most of the<br />

newcomers arrived seeking land, commercial opportunities and political<br />

autonomy. A cluster of residences in the Bottle Hill Historic District of<br />

Madison are remnants from colonial days. Particularly notable is the Luke<br />

Miller House at 105 Ridgedale Avenue. Built around 1730, it is thought to<br />

be the area’s oldest remaining home. The name “Madison” came to be in<br />

1834. Finding “Bottle Hill” too rustic, residents renamed the settlement for<br />

James Madison, fourth president of the United States and namesake of the<br />

local private school, Madison Academy.<br />

Four years after Madison got its name, the Morris and Essex Railroad<br />

connected it to Newark and Hoboken. The railroad’s presence turned early<br />

Madison into a suburb of Newark and New York, marking a major<br />

change in course for the borough’s history.<br />

The convenience of a passenger train attracted many wealthy families<br />

to Madison, especially those who already owned large parcels of<br />

land in the area. This influx of affluence gave rise to “Millionaire’s<br />

Row,” a line of estates that ran along Madison Avenue from downtown<br />

Madison and west to Morristown.<br />

Madison owes its Rose City reputation to the railroad as well. Even<br />

before it was incorporated in 1889, Madison was often referred to as<br />

The Rose City. The nickname stemmed from the millions of roses<br />

sent by train from Madison to New York each year.<br />

The roses that gave Madison its unofficial title were grown yearround<br />

in greenhouses, an innovation introduced to the area by the<br />

many estates. Though the last of Madison’s commercial greenhouses<br />

dried up in the 1970s, roses remain evident in the town’s logo, street<br />

names such as Rose Avenue and elsewhere.<br />

The Dodge Family is another lasting part of Madison’s heritage.<br />

rosenet.org 5


THE MADISON<br />

EXPERIENCE<br />

Said to be the wealthiest newlyweds<br />

in the country when they married<br />

in 1907, Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller<br />

Dodge, the youngest child of William<br />

Avery Rockefeller Jr., and her<br />

husband, Marcellus Hartley Dodge<br />

Sr., president of the Remington Arms<br />

Company, lived separately on adjoining<br />

country estates.<br />

Giralda Farms, where Ethel Rockefeller<br />

resided, fronted the main route<br />

from Madison to Morristown. It is<br />

• HARTLEY DODGE MEMORIAL BUILDING<br />

now the site of Giralda Farms Corporate<br />

Campus, a 375-acre office park<br />

on Madison’s western edge.<br />

Other Dodge family contributions to Madison include the Hartley Dodge Memorial<br />

Building and the Collegiate Gothic-style Madison Train Station, which together<br />

anchor the Madison Civic Commercial Historic District. Both buildings were donated<br />

in honor of Marcellus Hartley Dodge Jr., the couple’s only child.<br />

Radiating from the district’s core is Madison’s walkable downtown. Main<br />

Street, aka Route 124, which bisects the borough’s 4.21 square miles, is lined with<br />

an eclectic array of shops and restaurants.<br />

Entertainment and cultural options<br />

abound, including the Museum of Early Trades<br />

& Crafts, an ever-popular field trip destination<br />

with a collection of more than 8,000 artifacts.<br />

Just to the west of downtown is the<br />

picturesque campus of Drew University.<br />

Further west lies the Florham Campus of<br />

Fairleigh Dickinson University, bridging<br />

the towns of Florham<br />

Park and Madison.<br />

The campus consists<br />

of 178 acres, part of • FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY<br />

Florham, a former<br />

country estate of early 20th-century socialites Florence<br />

Vanderbilt and Hamilton Twombly. Less than a mile beyond<br />

FDU is the campus of Saint Elizabeth University in Convent<br />

Station.<br />

Madison is not just a great place to visit. It’s also a “fantastic<br />

place to live,” says lifelong resident Scott Spelker, an<br />

agent with Coldwell Banker and the Borough Historian. Price<br />

• DREW UNIVERSITY<br />

appreciation and an easy train commute to Manhattan have<br />

made Madison particularly attractive to millennials and New<br />

York City transplants. Historical significance only sweetens the deal, says Spelker.<br />

It’s no surprise that real estate is booming in Madison—as it has in other<br />

desirable New Jersey communities. Currently, the median home-sale price in<br />

Madison is approximately $880,000, though some homes go for as low as<br />

$300,000-$400,000. On the other end of the spectrum are homes priced<br />

at $2.8 million and beyond. It's further testimony to Madison's diversity.<br />

Whatever brings you to Madison, be it the history, the shopping and<br />

dining, or to take part in festivities such as Bottle Hill Day, you’ll appreciate<br />

the way the borough bridges past and present.<br />

From theater<br />

and music to<br />

crafts and<br />

Madison is<br />

a showcase<br />

for the arts.<br />

• SHAKESPEARE THEATRE OF NEW JERSEY<br />

Spend some time in Madison and it quickly becomes clear: The arts are ingrained<br />

in the fabric of this historic Morris County municipality.<br />

“While many communities provide access to arts and culture, in Madison,<br />

we try to integrate this into every aspect of our lives,” says Deborah Farrar<br />

Starker, executive director of the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts. “Many<br />

prominent arts and cultural assets can be found within the 4.21 miles that<br />

make up the borough.”<br />

A key downtown Madison attraction, the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts tells the<br />

stories of early settlers in New Jersey. The museum holds a collection of approximately<br />

9,000 objects and artifacts relating to the trades and crafts of the 18th and 19th centuries.<br />

The main building, a Richardsonian Romanesque Revival structure built in 1899, houses<br />

two levels of exhibit space and a museum shop. The Education Annex, located across<br />

the street, serves as a center for all educational programming.<br />

Another pillar of the Madison arts community is the Shakespeare<br />

Theatre of New Jersey. Led by longtime artistic director Bonnie J. Monte,<br />

the professional producing theater is dedicated solely to Shakespeare’s<br />

canon, Bard-inspired productions, and other classic works. The company<br />

presents its main stage season in the intimate F.M. Kirby Shakespeare<br />

Theatre, located on the Drew University campus. In the summer, productions<br />

move to Saint Elizabeth University’s outdoor Greek amphitheater<br />

stage in nearby Florham Park. Also in Florham Park is the company’s<br />

50,000-square-foot Thomas H. Kean Theatre Factory. This marvelous<br />

facility houses the company’s behind-the-scenes operations, including set<br />

activities—street festivals, art shows, live performances, museums, and<br />

theater—are supported by both the residents and the local municipality.”<br />

Speaking of street festivals, perhaps the best time to visit Madison<br />

is Bottle Hill Day, October 2. The day-long event combines the arts,<br />

music, vendors and food. Additional planned festivals for 2021 include<br />

the Holiday Arts Festival on November 26–27. Musicians, poets, singers<br />

1820<br />

200 Years<br />

Celebrating a Milestone<br />

While Looking Ahead to the Future<br />

From its inception in 1820, BURROUGHS, KOHR & DANGLER<br />

has always been, and remains to be, a family owned and<br />

operated funeral home – celebrating 200 years and now<br />

in its third generation with the Dangler family.<br />

In 1820, Caleb Burroughs moved to<br />

Madison, NJ, and opened a furniture<br />

making business. Eventually, the business<br />

was taken over by his son, Edwin,<br />

followed by Edwin’s son, Preston. In<br />

those early years, the local furniture<br />

maker also made coffins for the deceased<br />

in the community. As they became<br />

more involved in the funeral business,<br />

they offered other services, such as<br />

transporting coffins, digging graves, etc.<br />

In fact, they also assisted with the transport<br />

of remains throughout Northern<br />

New Jersey and New York.<br />

Preston Burroughs eventually passed<br />

the business to his daughter, Margaret,<br />

wife of Robert Kohr, and the business<br />

then became known as Burroughs &<br />

Kohr Funeral Home. In 1979, the Kohrs<br />

sold the funeral home to the Dangler<br />

family. Because of the history and outstanding<br />

reputation associated with<br />

the Burroughs and Kohr families, the<br />

Dangler family added their name which<br />

resulted in the Burroughs, Kohr &<br />

Dangler Funeral Home.<br />

After the death of her own husband,<br />

James E. Dangler, in 2005, Elizabeth<br />

“Betty” Razzo Dangler became the owner<br />

of the Burroughs, Kohr & Dangler<br />

Funeral Home in Madison.<br />

Along with Betty,<br />

the staff of the funeral<br />

home, which includes<br />

her daughter, Christine<br />

Dangler, her cousin<br />

Kip Dangler, and their<br />

colleague, Samantha Muro, take care of<br />

families who have suffered a loss.<br />

Christine emphasizes, “We pride ourselves<br />

on taking care of families before,<br />

during and after a loss with dignity, respect<br />

and integrity.” She continues, “We<br />

know what it is to suffer loss. Taking<br />

care of families is our first priority. We<br />

assist families in creating meaningful<br />

services or tributes to celebrate the life<br />

and legacy of their loved ones. We let<br />

Taking care<br />

of families is our<br />

first priority.<br />

them know they’re not alone. We help<br />

to guide them every step of the way.”<br />

In addition to helping families who<br />

suffer loss, the Burroughs, Kohr &<br />

Dangler Funeral Home family and<br />

staff have been active members in the<br />

communities they serve.<br />

For instance, every<br />

year they sponsor<br />

Little League teams;<br />

donate to community<br />

foodbanks, Thanksgiving<br />

drives, and clothing<br />

drives; give scholarships to Madison<br />

High School Seniors; and support the<br />

Madison Garden Club, and local Veteran’s<br />

Associations. As Betty adds, “We’re<br />

thankful that we’re able to take time to<br />

give back to our communities.”<br />

The Burroughs, Kohr & Dangler<br />

family and staff realize the importance<br />

of their vocation and are truly honored<br />

to build on the legacies of those who<br />

came before them.<br />

The Dangler family and staff are proud to continue<br />

to provide their dedicated, compassionate, and<br />

personalized service to those in Madison and the<br />

surrounding communities.<br />

SHOP N’ STROLL<br />

Madison’s downtown<br />

is a browser’s paradise.<br />

Want to go shopping<br />

in Madison?<br />

You’ll mainly<br />

need to visit<br />

Main Street.<br />

In a short walk<br />

on Main from<br />

Green Village Road to Prospect Street,<br />

with a loop around Waverly Place, you<br />

can find everything from boutiques to<br />

bookstores, hats to home furnishings.<br />

Your Madison shopping spree<br />

starts with plenty of free parking—<br />

on the street and in the public lots<br />

behind the stores on either side of<br />

Main Street. Turn south off Main onto<br />

Green Village Road for the entrance<br />

to the Waverly Green parking area<br />

(free two-hour parking). Find a spot<br />

and step through Waverly Green Alley<br />

to get back to Main Street.<br />

The clean, wide, tree-lined sidewalks<br />

along Main are perfect for a<br />

leisurely stroll. True to Madison’s<br />

historic roots, meticulously restored<br />

19th-century brick buildings of various<br />

hues flank the sidewalks. Public<br />

benches and outdoor café tables<br />

beckon passersby. Old-fashioned<br />

gaslights add charm, and banners<br />

documenting the borough’s “Hidden<br />

Figures” (African-American<br />

groundbreakers) such as Judge<br />

Aubrey Eugene Robinson Jr. and<br />

the Sallie Siblings) add history to<br />

your exploration.<br />

Turn right from Waverly Green<br />

• T HE C HAT H A M<br />

SHOP N' STROLL<br />

B O O KS ELLER<br />

Alley onto Main Street and get ready to sample<br />

Madison’s bounty. Need a quick bite before you<br />

shop? Try the Bagel Chateau. Care to carry home<br />

some Italian specialty foods? Healthy Italia is the<br />

place to stop.<br />

Next, turn right onto Waverly Place—but first,<br />

do some window shopping at Rose City Jewelers.<br />

Walk on and you’ll find Cambridge Street Papers,<br />

with its selection of paper goods and gifts, and<br />

Crowley Cupcakes, with its array of tasty treats.<br />

Hungry for something more substantial or just<br />

plain thirsty? Grab a table inside or out at the<br />

popular Bottle Hill Tavern.<br />

Now cross to the east side of Waverly Place<br />

and browse the women’s fashions at Stitch or<br />

satisfy your sweet tooth at Sugar Rush.<br />

Crossing Main Street and turning left,<br />

the first stop is Tons of Toys, where<br />

you’ll literally find tons of good stuff for<br />

the little ones. If knitting is more your<br />

game, make a stop at the Blue Purl.<br />

The shopping continues with Prima<br />

(menswear), Pink Pear (gifts and accessories),<br />

the Snooki Shop<br />

(a fun and funky women’s<br />

boutique from you know<br />

who); Alfred’s Sport Shop<br />

(outdoor gear); and Madison<br />

Pet (lest you forget your<br />

best friend).<br />

Now you really deserve a treat.<br />

Set down your shopping totes and indulge<br />

in a cup or cone at McCool’s Ice Cream<br />

Parlour.<br />

Satisfied? Cross Main Street and<br />

consider a visit to the Museum of Early<br />

Trades & Crafts. Or a final stop at the<br />

Chatham Bookseller on Green Village Road.<br />

All of this in the<br />

space of two blocks.<br />

That’s shopping,<br />

Madison-style.<br />

CASUAL TO FINE<br />

Heading to Madison?<br />

Plan to come hungry.<br />

If you are coming to Madison,<br />

come hungry. This small<br />

borough can make meal<br />

times memorable from sun<br />

up to well after dark.<br />

“We have everything<br />

from cafes to taverns with<br />

burgers to fine Italian restaurants,<br />

Il Mondo Vecchio being probably<br />

the best known,” says Marty<br />

Horn, a resident for 30 years.<br />

Horn and three Madison partners<br />

own Bottle Hill Tavern, which<br />

they renovated in 2018. Under<br />

different names and locations,<br />

it dates to around 1812.<br />

“We’re on Waverly Place,<br />

which has lots of retail, eateries<br />

and food shops, like Crowley’s<br />

Cupcakes and Sugar Rush, a really<br />

cute candy shop. Shanghai Jazz<br />

is a popular place for live music<br />

and authentic Chinese food, and<br />

there’s excellent Thai, like Palm<br />

Thai and Nahm Thai.”<br />

Horn often starts his day with<br />

a Taylor ham, egg and cheese at<br />

C&Js Deli. You also may find him<br />

there at lunch, tucking into<br />

a turkey sloppy joe.<br />
