  The Paper Mill Playhouse
OVERVIEW
Part of Essex County, New Jersey, Millburn township offers a great place to live. Some top reasons include the high quality school systems, a village and neighborhood feel and great commuter access to major business hubs. Millburn also includes the hamlet of Short Hills. Due to this convenient access to major cities and affluent flare, Millburn-Short Hills has grown considerably, with a population around 20,000 as per the 2000 US Census.
Millburn is comprised of the historic Wyoming district, and South Mountain and Millburn Center areas. Short Hills contains the sections of Knollwood, Glenwood, Brookhaven, Country Club, Merrywood, Deerfield-Crossroads, Mountaintop, White Oak Ridge, and Old Short Hills Estates.
Millburn is known for its proximity to South Mountain Reservation. Millburn is perhaps best known as home to New Jersey's most celebrated theater, the Paper Mill Playhouse. The 1,200-seat professional Equity theater offers musicals, plays, international performers and children's programs year-round. Take the family and be sure to leave time to tour the town.

BRIEF HISTORY
In March of 1857, Millburn Township was formed by the New Jersey Legislature. Millburn’s name evolved from an acknowledgement of the local mill that was built on a stream. “Burn" is actually the Scottish name for “stream”.
Although there is an absence of records, it seemed that during the post Civil War period, Millburn had a population of slightly more than 1500. There were very few stores that provided commercially-prepared goods during this time. Livelihood came predominantly from little mills and small farms. Trains were available to New York and Newark and this was great excitement for the townspeople. Resources for water were only a short distance via ponds and streams. Fishing, boating, and swimming were there to partake in.
By 1870, Millburn began to emerge more as a small manufacturing town. Due it’s great accessibility to cities, resources and business, Millburn began to grow as a development.

Remodeling and Renovations >Kitchen Catastrophe
You have found an almost perfect house--the right number of bedrooms and baths, a wonderful family room, a great back yard. Your pulse rate increases as you imagine your furniture in the living room, your "excess" neatly stored in the huge attic, and your tulip bulbs blooming in the garden. However, the kitchen looks like it was built long before conveniences like dishwashers or microwaves.
If you have fallen in love with a house with an outdated or unattractive kitchen, you should consider renovating it. Contact a contractor for expert advice during the structural contingency period. Re-doing a kitchen can be a major undertaking, especially if you move walls around. If you put in new appliances, cabinets, and flooring into the existing space, it can be done in a shorter period of time and for a small fraction of the cost. Kitchen improvements are considered excellent investments.
