ReviewsTitle: Award winner stresses giving back to town Author: Renata Magalhaes Publisher: Neighbor News (Dover Edition) Date: 2/24/2010 By day, Vito Bianco performs his duties as a New Jersey tax court judge, a job he has held since 2001. By night, Bianco becomes the local historian preserving Denville's amazing and vast history. Bianco has been on a mission tracking down artifacts, photographs, and whatever else he can find in his many searches of the Internet, flea markets or any public records that bring to light the many lives that have passed through Denville's winding roads. "I've always had an interest in history," Bianco said. "I always enjoyed listening to my grandfather tell stories." Taking that interest of history and the knack for finding treasures of the past, Bianco joined the Denville Historical Society and Museum in 1987, serving on the Board of Trustees and later as its president until 2007. He has also served on the Denville's Town Council. "I always believe people should give back to the community," he said. For his many efforts and contributions to the society and museum, and possibly for Denville in general, the Denville Township PRIDE Council is honoring Bianco with a Muriel Hepner Award this Friday, acknowledging the volunteer work he has provided the community of Denville. Born in Denville, Bianco never strayed too far, moving a very short distance away to Rockaway, but soon coming back, eventually settling in with his own family - his wife and two kids. "It's a nice community â€¦ nice downtown area," he said. "It's a tight-knit community with some open areas; it hasn't been overdeveloped. I was devastated when we moved. I didn't like moving. I was determined to stay." Bianco's family originally settled in Denville sometime around World War I. It is also where Bianco's mother was born. Bianco himself remembers growing up in a more rural Denville, with its many farms. Most vividly he remembers living next to the farm where he would go and milk the cow, and was stared down by the big bull. His love of everything Denville is not only evident in the manner in which Bianco speaks of his hometown but also in the two published books to which he contributed: "Denville" and "Denville's Union Hill," by Arcadia Publishing. After many years of research, Bianco said the trick was finding a publisher who wanted to invest in the work. "There needs to a market for it [in order to be published]," he explained. But fortunately when Arcadia came around for the first book, Bianco was able to show there was an interest and the books were released in 2001 and 2003 respectively. "My main thrust when I was president was to get the 18th-century history. The earlier historians worked mostly in the 19th and 20th century, but the 18th was [almost] forgotten," he said. Reason being that most of the earlier records are harder to find, and the names of certain locations need to be re-established because, as Bianco explained, the Denville area went through many changes and was divided into parts (like that of Union Hill), which are unknown to many people today, making the job a bit more complex. According to Bianco, the Denville Historical Museum needs "new blood â€¦ young people to come in, interested in preserving what is there" because the museum has plenty of artifacts "already there that need to be taken care of and get them catalogued." He hopes that in the near future the museum will be able to process the old photographs into digital files, creating a media center, where people will be able to come in and sift through them. There are also talks or hopes about creating a genealogy center. Bianco's volunteering with the D
