This Day in History: 1929-02-22
A heavy snowfall began which slowed Mahwah to a standstill. The school children attended classes during their lunch hour so that they could be dismissed at 1:00. Thirteen members of Scout Troop 50 were disappointed when their pilgrimage to the battlefield of Gettysburg was postponed, the boys were asked by the Town Committee to shovel the walks in the station park and did so for the first time ever as soon as the storm was over.
