Hidden in the Watchung Reservation is a national and state registered historic district today consisting of a ten-building village built in 1845 by New York businessman David Felt, aka "King David." Whatever he had planned didn't work, and Feltville became Glenside Park in the 1880s. It was a summer resort for city folk, but it only lasted until the urban sprawl ruined the enchantment of it all in 1916. Restoration and archeological work are always going on -- the archeologists date human occupation back to prehistoric times -- and a museum is being constructed. If you are fortunate enough to find this place, see if you're really an explorer and try to find the small cemetery nearby to see the gravestone of Peter Willcocks (d. 1776), whose family was one of two clans living in the farming community then known as Peters Hill. -- Carol Davis
