Eagle Scout Project Honors 250th: Flag Drop Boxes Built for Phoenix House and Police Station
A special thank you to Karl Maurer for completing his recent Eagle Scout Project! Karl built flag drop boxes for both the Phoenix House and the Mendham Borough Police Station for residents to properly retire American flags. Residents who wish to respectfully retire their worn or unserviceable flags can now use the new drop boxes, which will be checked biweekly by the American Legion.
Karl will begin his 4-year enlistment in the U.S. Army on August 24th. We wish him the best of luck and thank him for the drop boxes as well as his service to our country!
1777 HISTORIC DOD-CARY GRANDFATHER CLOCK DONATED TO BOROUGH DURING AMERICA'S 25OTH
The Cary family's legacy remains visible today. John Cary, known as "Old Miller Cary," operated the family's mill, and later generations farmed the surrounding land. His grandson, Stephen Cary, cultivated a 59-acre farm on Mountainside Road. The historic Cary Farm barn, now owned and currently being restored by the Borough of Mendham, continues to stand as a lasting reminder of the family's contributions to our community.
It is especially meaningful that this extraordinary gift has been entrusted to the Borough as our nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of American independence. This remarkable clock not only preserves the craftsmanship of one of Mendham's most celebrated artisans but also honors the generations of residents whose service, sacrifice, and stewardship helped shape our community and our country.
I would also like to thank the Mayor’s Historic Committee for recognizing this opportunity, and our Borough Administrator for working with the family to secure the donation. Finally, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to the McLean family for ensuring that this irreplaceable piece of Mendham's history remains here—where its story began.

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS STEP UP TO GIVE DOUBLE FIELD DUG OUTS A PATRIOT MAKE OVER
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
If you have driven by Borough Park in the last few days, you may have noticed a fresh new look at Doubleday Field. I want to extend a huge thank you to the volunteers from the Mountain View Middle School baseball team, who generously donated their time to clean and paint the dugouts over the weekend! I would also like to give a special shout-out to the members of the DPW crew for prepping the dugouts, and Councilmember Neil Sullivan, who oversaw the planning and coordination of this project. The dugouts received a much-needed makeover and are now proudly sporting red, white, and blue in honor of our upcoming 250th anniversary.
