About our Exhibits
Highlands Coalition's mission to help preserve the natural and cultural resources of this remarkable region of our State that supplies clean drinking water to over 6.2 million people.
The artists who are inspired by the natural beauty of the Highlands region of NJ, NY, PA & CT are advocates for protecting the Highlands natural and cultural resources as much as we who strive for protective policies; beauty is worth fighting for to protect. The landscapes of the Highlands, the great biodiversity of plants and animals, the broken, half-hidden remnants of the early industrial age that has since returned to forest, the granite outcrops and strewn, truck-sized boulders deposited by the glaciers, the cold and deep glacial lakes and ancient rivers ...

NJHC MISSIOn
njhc HEADQUARTERS
YOUR WATER - YOUR FUTURE
The New Jersey Highlands Coalition advocates for the protection of the Highlands’ natural and cultural resources, including its water on which over 70% of New Jersey’s population, its economy, and its viability rely.
Specifically, we focus on:
• Safeguarding the Highlands’ water and forest resources by advocating for effective strategies and strong environmental and land use policies, including the implementation of the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act and the Highlands Regional Master Plan.
• Educating people about the Highlands’ critical role in ensuring clean water, climate resilience, and economic viability far beyond the immediate region.
• Activating and empowering a coalition of people and organizations who care about the Highlands and its role in the state’s water supply.
• Providing expert support to grassroots groups that amplifies their community-based advocacy efforts.
• Leading advocacy efforts at every level of government to ensure the protection of all Highlands natural and cultural resources for every resident of the State.

Maxfield Engine House, in the heart of the Boonton Historic District
The Center for the Study of Cities and Small Towns (CSST) Foundation renovated the firehouse according to a preservation study done by researchers from Penn Praxis at the Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania. Constructed in 1893 by civic-minded Boonton citizens led by then City Council president, Esli B. Dawson, great, great grandfather of CSST board members Ryan Dawson of Mendham and Rebecca Birch of New York City, the firehouse occupies a prominent location in the center of Boonton, NJ’s Main Street Historic District. It has served a variety of functions since the town’s fire engines became too large for its original use.
