Has the ghost of Antoine LeBlanc struck again?

Our scientific side would prefer to blame meteorologists for Sunday’s closure of the Macculloch Hall and Historical Museum, and the cancellation of its scheduled talk about Morristown’s most infamous 19th-century killer.

Forecasts of snow have caused many local streets–including Macculloch Avenue–to be posted with emergency “no parking” signs today, March 2, 2014.

And so the museum has closed. A staff member said she hopes that retired Judge Kenneth MacKenzie’s talk about Antoine LeBlanc can be rescheduled, as part of the museum’s Controversies exhibit.
