ABOUT MOUNT TABOR, NEW JERSEY
Mount Tabor was founded in 1869 as a Methodist camp meeting ground – the site where a camp meeting was held for ten days each summer and evolved to become a summer resort community. Eventually, the summer tents and cottages became year-round houses, still within the dimensions of the original 25-foot-by-16-foot tent lots. The close proximity and tiny lots created an environment that fostered the diminutive gingerbread cottages so prominent in camp meeting communities.

Today, Mount Tabor is a year-round neighborhood within Parsippany-Troy Hills Township and still enjoys the strong sense of community its original founders intended. It has a historic heritage that is being proudly preserved.

Mount Tabor was listed on the New Jersey State Register of Historic Places in January 2015 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 2015.
