Two views of Trowbridge Drive in Randolph Township, Morris County, New Jersey at the top of Trowbridge Mountain, just off of West Hanover Ave.  Since many roads in this area were named after the owners of the farms they went through, it is probable that this was the location of Dan Trowbridge's farm because it is close enough to the site of the farm of Dan's parents, David & Lydia (about a quarter mile), but just over the Randolph border. Dan was listed as living in Mendham, but twelve years after his death, this area split off from Mendham and became Randolph Township .
