===Historic places=== Eaton House is a Watchung historic site that was owned by congressman [[Charles Aubrey Eaton]] and has been the residence of other notables over the years. Known also as the Sunbright Farm farmhouse, the home was damaged in April 2014 when it was hit by trees that fell as a result of a likely [[microburst]] in a severe storm that rolled through the area.<ref name=Eaton>O'Brien, Walter.
