At a recent 300th meeting, Marcia shared </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">with the committee members </span><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: 0.5in;">a photo of a 2020 Christmas tree ornament painted by a young artist in Hunterdon County. The ornament depicted the historic Union Hotel, located on Main Street in Flemington. What made this ornament so special was that it was chosen to represent New Jersey on the official White House Christmas tree located in the Blue Room. Every year, students from across the country are tasked with creating ornaments depicting what makes their state so special. We were elated to discover an iconic symbol of Flemington was displayed on a national stage. The young artist of the ornament was unknown. Marica was interested in finding its creator so she may be recognized for her achievement. However, the only morsel of information we could gather was that the artist was named “Amy,” who resided somewhere in Hunterdon County.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"> </span><o:p></o:p> <span style="font-size: medium;">The trail went cold until I was invited to a tea party at a local Flemington residence. The hostess is a lifelong Flemington resident and is very active in the community. While there, I was shocked to discover a couch pillow with a print of the Union Hotel ornament sewn on it. With a new lead on the alluring ornament and its creator, I quickly asked the hostess where she acquired the pillow. She revealed that she read Amy’s story about the ornament in the newspaper at the time it was selected for the White House tree in December 2020. The article mentioned Amy’s artwork was available for print on a website called “Artsonia”, a worldwide online gallery that promotes the talent of student art projects. She bought a copy of the ornament design from the website and sewed it on the pillow. From what she remembered reading in the article, the hostess mentioned Amy was a student at Delaware Township school in Sergeantsville. With this unexpected bit of serendipity, the trail became warm again. I contacted the art teacher </span><span style="font-size: large;">at the school</span><span style="font-size: large;">, Ms. Mikula, and discovered her 7th grade student Amy was in fact the creator of the ornament. She set up an interview for me to meet with them and discuss her inspiration in choosing the Union Hotel. The following questions were posed to Amy and Ms. Mikula.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Mary Jane: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">What sparked your interest in painting the Union

What was the selection process like?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Ms. Mikula; </span></b>The New Jersey Department of Education chose Delaware Township School to decorate Christmas trees at the White House. All of our students designed an ornament that would represent New Jersey. I chose twelve designs to be printed onto the final submissions. The National Parks Commission, which organizes the tree lighting, chose three of our twelve ornaments to be included for the official indoor White House Christmas tree. Amy, as well as two of her classmates, were chosen for this honor. They were recognized by a formal letter of congratulations from the First Lady. The remaining ornaments submitted by my students were used to decorate the outdoor state Christmas tree. We were the only school chosen to decorate the New Jersey tree due to my recognition as County Teacher of the Year and being the only educator who taught art. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Mary Jane: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Did you and your family get invited to see the
ornament on the White House tree?</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Amy: </span></b>Yes, I was invited. However, since it was a busy time of the year, I was unable to attend.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Mary Jane: </span></b>Where is the ornament now? Is it hanging on your family Christmas tree or is it stored in the White House.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Ms. Mikula: </span></b>The original print is stored in the White House. However, a copy of the ornament design is depicted on magnets, mugs, tee-shirts, keychains, etc. is sold on Artsonia with a portion of the profits going to the school.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Mary Jane: </span></b>Not only is Amy very talented, but she is also lucky to have a teacher who is so supportive.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 106%;">Ms. Mikula: </span></b>I love the opportunity to showcase all of my students’ artwork. Amy is on track to be in the honors art program in high school where her skills will blossom.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">A journey that began with just a picture of an ornament unraveled into a search to discover how a historic landmark of Flemington made its way into the White House. It was fulfilling to discover the full story of a talented young girl with the help of many coincidences. As I walked out of Delaware Township School, I noticed the ceiling tiles in the hallways were individually painted by every departing 8th grade student. This school tradition will carry on when Amy finishes 8th grade. I would like to return next school year to enjoy Amy’s creativity memorialized on the ceiling tile.</span><p>

As We Were</i>. A 235-page anthology, the book offers both fact-based and
anecdotal history of the rural township through 42 articles by 24 authors. An index of names includes 661 people who
helped make Franklin’s history.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Lora W. Jones, Franklin’s historian since 2001, edited the
work and also contributed some articles. “This is more of a reference book than
one to read straight through,” she says and adds, “There is something of
interest for everyone.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">A signing party with four<span style="color: #2e74b5; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span>of the book’s authors will feature
the new historical resource on Sunday, October 1 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Friends
Meetinghouse at the intersection of Rt. 579 and Whitebridge Road, Quakertown,
NJ. The price of the book is $30 cash or
check (made out to Franklin Twp., Hunterdon Co.), $35 if ordering by mail. The event is hosted by Rural Awareness, a
non-profit civic group in Franklin. Light refreshments will be served.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This book provides, for the first time since Franklin
Township was established in 1845, an inventory of its 10 early taverns, 21
mills of 5 various types, and 26 one-room schoolhouses used for a differing
number of years from 1730 to 1936. Three of the mills, all stone, still stand;
two are residences and one houses commercial ventures. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">One attention-grabbing article describes the horror and
confusion that resulted from a bolt of lightning that struck the United
Methodist Episcopal Church in Quakertown in 1895. Members of the congregation
were knocked senseless for some 20 minutes, and many were burned. One died four
days later. Amazingly, a photograph taken by Quakertown resident Willis Vail of
the burned clothes of church sexton Asa Bowman accompanies the account.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Other articles record the 1952 fire that destroyed the
Cherryville Inn, which at its start was the 1737 Dogtown Tavern; the
establishment of the Franklin Telephone Company and its many growing pains over
the years; tales of ghosts in eighteenth-century houses; a young boy’s secret
to catching skunks; and a wild turkey who commanded, and stopped, traffic for
weeks on Sidney Road in 2020. The book also details the historic loss in 1978 of
the Fink Through-Truss bridge at Hamden, the oldest metal truss bridge in the
U.S. and the oldest span in Hunterdon County, in place since 1857. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

public demonstration on responsible metal detecting, along with a
special event for children to try their hand at detecting at the Readington
Museums’ Bouman-Stickney Farmstead. Displays of local artifacts will
highlight many of the previous finds from the Farmstead.
Last year the Club (DSMDC) offered to help Readington Museums
locate the original barn at the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead and has
made two small explorations so far. Based in Edison NJ, DSMDC is a
volunteer group of metal detectorists interested in preserving history by
locating relics. They have used their skills in places such as the
Monmouth and Princeton Battlefields, Valley Forge and West Point, the
Schuyler-Hamilton House in Morristown, and James Madison’s
Montpelier.
On their first visit to the farmstead, they found a 1726 King George II
farthing along with a large strap hinge. They have also located many
square nails which could be from pre-1800s buildings. The locations of
all findings are being recorded by professional survey equipment so that a map can be produced for
future reference.
The club returned to the farmstead this July to resume the search. The members found pieces of a horse's
bridle, long interconnected metal rods, a tiny white fragment of white pottery, and a larger glazed and
painted terra cotta piece. The DSMDC is cleaning and preserving all the relics and will be displayed at
the metal detecting program.
The program is free, but donations are appreciated. Reservations are strongly recommended.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>http://www.ReadingtonMuseums.org</b></span>, contact the Readington Museums at 908-236-2327, or </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://readingtonmuseums@gmail.com."><b>readingtonmuseums@gmail.com.</b></a> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: READINGTON MUSEUMS HOSTS AN OLD FASHIONED BARN DANCE: </span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">Put on your dancing shoes for a night of family fun as the Readington

It will trace the innovative ways that the stone tools and weapons changed over the 13,000-year time period covered by the exhibit, and the adaptations made in response to climate change.</span></span></p><p data-key="51"><span data-key="50"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">These artifacts represent the unwritten legacy of the Lenape people in Hunterdon County, from early times through their first contact with Europeans 500 years ago. Beautiful illustrations of indigenous culture by famed Archeologist John Kraft were incorporated into the exhibit to bring the Lenape people to life.</span></span></p><p data-key="53"><span data-key="52"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Most of the artifacts on display were found in the Hunterdon County area by gentleman farmers in the 1800’s, wealthy individuals who collected and curated artifacts in the manner of the time. Now, in 2022, their collections have been augmented, lit, and labeled so that we can more fully appreciate the unique treasures of the region.</span></span></p><p data-key="55"><span data-key="54"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Please join Geologists Greg Herman, Mark Zdepski and their colleague Collector Ed Fimbel, in a virtual tour of the new exhibit and their presentation on transforming the unique HCHS Deats-Thatcher Native American collection into a modern, historically-accurate accessible display of indigenous stone artifacts and culture.</span></span></p><p data-key="61"><span data-key="60"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Greg Herman is a Geologist at Trap Rock Industries who spent 32 years with the NJ State Geological Survey, teaches structural geology and continues researching and writing about impact tectonics and geoarchaeology.</span></span></p><p data-key="63"><span data-key="62"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Mark Zdepski ran his own geological consulting firm JMZ Geology in Flemington NJ until 2017 and continues to pursue his personal and professional interests in ore deposits, stone quarries, industrial archaeology, historical preservation and early cultures.</span></span></p><p data-key="65"><span data-key="64"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Ed Fimbel is an accomplished local collector with an outstanding 15-state personal collection, who was integral to the renovations of the Native American artifact collection in Flemington.</span></span></p><p data-key="68"><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">Main Branch, County Library, Route 12. 2 PM. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">$5 dollar suggested donation to go to the Hunterdon County Historical Society for the preservation of our county's historical treasures.</span><span style="color: #1d2228;"> Refreshments follow. </span></b><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">Reservations recommended </span></b><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">by going to or cutting and pasting into a new url: </span><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-hunterdon-historical-societys-collection-of-native-american-artifacts-tickets-49273492342</span></b></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">SUNDAY, JUNE 4TH: </span><span style="color: #2b00fe;">"LET'S GO TO THE FAIR: THE HISTORY OF THE HUNTERDON COUNTY FAIR":</span></span></b><span style="color: #1d2228; font-size: large;"> with Terry Wright.

AEG Geologists Mark Zdepski and Greg Herman were key members of the team, joined by Ed Fimbel, that curated an impressive new exhibit of mostly locally-found artifacts just put on display in Flemington, New Jersey, by the Hunterdon County Historical Society (HCHS).</span></span></span></div><p data-key="47"><span data-key="46"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> The revamped exhibit was opened in time for Native American Heritage month. Herman, Zdepski and Fimbel transformed a little known, time capsule-like collection of stone tools, arrowheads and weapons---some of which had been sitting untouched for years in the original collectors’ old oak cabinets---into a modern museum-quality exhibit.
</span></span></p><p data-key="49"><span data-key="48"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> This talk will highlight the ingenuity and practical use of local Earth materials by indigenous peoples. It will trace the innovative ways that the stone tools and weapons changed over the 13,000-year time period covered by the exhibit, and the adaptations made in response to climate change.
</span></span></p><p data-key="51"><span data-key="50"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> These artifacts represent the unwritten legacy of the Lenape people in Hunterdon County, from early times through their first contact with Europeans 500 years ago. Beautiful illustrations of indigenous culture by famed Archeologist John Kraft were incorporated into the exhibit to bring the Lenape people to life.
</span></span></p><p data-key="53"><span data-key="52"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Most of the artifacts on display were found in the Hunterdon County area by gentleman farmers in the 1800’s, wealthy individuals who collected and curated artifacts in the manner of the time.

But, the roots of Halloween reach back centuries into our past—to All Hallow’s Eve and ancient holidays and rituals, superstitions, and folklore.

Our tour guide is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago. Join us to learn about the fascinating, historic hamlet.</span></b></p><p data-key="14"><span data-key="15"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Reservations are required.

But, the roots of Halloween reach back centuries into our past—to All Hallow’s Eve and ancient holidays and rituals, superstitions, and folklore.

Our tour guide is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago. Join us to learn about the fascinating, historic hamlet.</span></b></p><p data-key="14"><span data-key="15"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Reservations are required.

But, the roots of Halloween reach back centuries into our past—to All Hallow’s Eve and ancient holidays and rituals, superstitions, and folklore.

Our tour guide is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago. Join us to learn about the fascinating, historic hamlet.</span></b></p><p data-key="14"><span data-key="15"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Reservations are required.

barn was moved to its present site from a nearby location. It's origins
as a dairy barn are still in evidence. A 19<sup>th</sup> century dual
purpose barn originally contained a smoke house and a milk house. Another
19<sup>th</sup> century barn sat on 500 acres, but saw the farm
sub-divided over the years. Its acreage has now been reclaimed and the
property sits in the Farmland Preservation Program. A modified 20<sup>th</sup> century
Bank barn sits on land that was part of a 5000-acre estate spanning Hunterdon,
Somerset and Morris counties. A 20<sup>th</sup> century barn,
currently used as a Party Barn, served as a notable site in the history of
Tewksbury during the past century. A magnificent equestrian facility,
built recently, is located on 390 acres.</span></b></p>

Grandin Bethlehem Presbyterian Church is the oldest Presbyterian Church in Hunterdon County, established in 1730. Three members of the church were sent to attend a meeting of the Sons of Liberty in 1766 and the church publicly supported the Continental Congress in 1774. Church members were leaders in organizing and leading the Second Regiment of the Hunterdon County Militia. Twenty-two members fought in the Revolutionary War. Within this cemetery are the remains of 21 men who fought in the Continental Army, John Hackett, for whom Hackettstown is named, and John Grandin's family, including Elizabeth Grandin. </b><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Bonnells, Bellises, Wyckoffs, Yards, Osmuns, Stewarts and many other of Hunterdon's oldest families are buried there as well.

The reason behind the name Oldwick is that wick means village and since at the time of the change the village was old, it was named Oldwick, meaning old village. Prior to New Germantown, the village was named Smithfield, after its principal resident Ralph Smith.

living in Clinton, New Jersey, and a Readington Township native. She has been creating hand-crafted hooked
rugs since 1990. Her recent collections of original rugs include ‘story rugs’
which tell of real-life or imaginary events, and quaint primitive designs. Her
rugs have been featured on websites, fairs, rug hooking publications and have
appeared in the Rug Hooking Magazine’s Celebrations® book recognizing
nationally known fiber artists.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

rug hooking in 1985 after moving to New Jersey. She now resides in Stanton. “I
first noticed theses rugs in the magazine Country Living and with a little
investigation I found a wonderful local teacher, took several classes and have
been rug hooking ever since. My style is to create a rug that has a folk-art
look. Most of my rugs were inspired from antique rugs. Simple designs with
bright and bold colors”. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Our tour guide is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago.

and early 20<sup>th</sup> century in Flemington. Unlike today where we tear it
down and build something new, back then building recycling was the norm. What started as a simple question about the
original location of the park gazebo led Janice Armstrong, preservation and
heritage educator, to some interesting stories and photos of house moving. You
will hear about local house mover John S. Lloyd and his hardworking horse Topsy
and take a walk to locate some of Flemington’s relocated structures. This tour is an amazing look at adaptive reuse of structures and a provocative look at our County Seat.</b></p><p><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Walk limited to 20 people. 10 am start time; walk lasts approximately 90 minutes.

letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Take a walking tour of downtown Ringoes and discover its rich history. Our tour guide</span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.5px; padding-top: 0px;">is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago.

Our tour guide</span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.5px; padding-top: 0px;">is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago. Join us to learn about the fascinating, historic hamlet.</span></span></span></b></p><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;">Reservations are required</span>.</span> A</span>pproximately 90 minutes.</span></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Meeting location to be disclosed to those holding</span></b></p><div class="event-details__data" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">reservations only </span></b><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">EAST AMWELL TOWNSHIP, NJ 08551</span></b></p></div><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Walk limited to 20 people.</span></b></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><b style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">There is no rain date for this event.

Our tour guide</span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.5px; padding-top: 0px;">is Dave Harding, former Hunterdon County Historical Society trustee, founding member of the East Amwell Historical Society, and author of a self-guided walking tour of Ringoes. </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Dave will tell us about John Ringo’s arrival in the early 1700s where he became a reluctant tavern owner, and discuss the legend of his buried treasure. We'll learn about the Sons of Liberty meeting at the tavern of “the second” John Ringo, an ardent patriot who hung a portrait of George Washington outside his establishment (unless the British were passing through!). We’ll swing past the Henry Landis House where the Marquis de LaFayette convalesced after falling ill, and we’ll talk about the local doctor who rushed to his aid. Speaking of doctors, we’ll also tell you all about Dr. Mary Tidd Bennett, the town’s rare 1800s female physician, and we’ll stand beside the home and publishing house of Dr. Cornelius Larison, and discuss this physician, teacher, publisher, author, interviewer of ex-slave Sylvia DuBois and advocate of phonetic spelling. We’ll also learn about the impact of the railroad on the community and what the village looked like a century ago. Join us to learn about the fascinating, historic hamlet.</span></span></span></b></p><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;">Reservations are required</span>.</span> A</span>pproximately 90 minutes.</span></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><div class="event-details__data" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Meeting location to be disclosed to those holding</span></b></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">reservations only </span></b><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">EAST AMWELL TOWNSHIP, NJ 08551</span></b></p></div><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Walk limited to 20 people.</span></b></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><span style="padding-top: 0px;"><b style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">There is no rain date for this event.

BRIAN ARMSTRONG ON PROHIBITION & NEW JERSEY: 1919-1933:</b></span><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 pm – Society Headquarters
60 Water Street - Mountainville
Prohibition and New Jersey, 1919-1933.
Come hear Brian Armstrong lecture about how Prohibition came to be passed, the
problems with enforcement, and how it ultimately was repealed. The unforeseen consequences
of the “noble experiment” such as increasing the size of government and the development of
organized crime will also be discussed. The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 was the only time in
US history when an amendment to the US Constitution (18th) was removed by another
amendment (21st).

After paying a $50,000 reward in marked bills, the corpse of “Little Charlie” was found four miles from the Lindbergh home. Almost immediately marked kidnapped money began showing up around New York City, especially in Manhattan and the Bronx. In October of 1934, Bruno Richard Hauptman was caught passing a $10 bill from the Lindbergh ransom money. Hidden in his garage was found another $14,000. Hauptmann was extradited to Flemington, New Jersey where the “Trial of the Century” began on January 2<sup>nd</sup>, 1935.</span></div>

Co-author of the book “New Jersey Lindbergh Kidnapping and Trial” he will attempt to talk not about weather Hauptmann was guilty or not, but all the crazy things that occurred in and out of the courtroom over the five months that Hauptmann was in the Flemington jail.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Cemetery Tour stops at the pink granite monument to the victims of the spinal-meningitis outbreak of 1907, and at the graves of combat casualties, captains of industry, the mayor who arrived with the circus, a man who swam away from the Milford train wreck of 1877, a bottler of patent medicine, the man who owned Uhlerstown, Pa., Miss Frenchtown of 1931, Frenchtown's only woman mayor, the Man Who Worked One Day a Year, and many, many more. Metal grave markers and Victorian symbolism will be explained.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rick Epstein started gathering Frenchtown history when he was editor of the Frenchtown's Delaware Valley News in 1970s and '80s, interviewing old-timers for the newspaper. He soaked up more history as editor of the Hunterdon County Democrat, and intensified his research more recently to begin his historical tours in 2016. He currently reports on Frenchtown for the Bucks County Herald. </span></div>

But canal, railroad and highway systems by-passed the area. Without significant transportation links, the hamlet’s size peaked in the late 19th Century. Fortunately, we have architectural, photographic, map, and documentary evidence of Wertsville’s heyday. It tells a wonderful story!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span data-mce-style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Join David Konicki and Eric Auteaur, the producers of the Emmy winning documentary "The Town That Disappeared Overnight" as they discuss the making of their newest film about the Siege of Jutland. We follow the dark story of illegal trespass, invalid search, and manslaughter in 1926 in the tiny hamlet of Jutland. With a story-line right out of today's headlines, Historian John Kuhl will relate this tale of a local family accused of animal abuse that turned into a shoot out with the nascent NJ State Police. This event was so big that it took the Lindbergh Kidnapping Case to take if off national headlines. </span></span></span></div>

Bronx. In October of 1934, Bruno Richard Hauptman was caught passing a $10 bill
from the Lindbergh ransom money. Hidden in his garage was found another
$14,000. Hauptmann was extradited to Flemington, New Jersey where the “Trial of
the Century” began on January 2<sup>nd</sup>, 1935.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jim Davidson, Lindbergh enthusiast, Lindbergh memorabilia
collector and frequent speaker on everything Lindbergh related, will captivate
you with a power point of the six weeks of the Hauptmann Trial in Flemington.
Topics such as the first weekend of the trial when 50,000 people descended on
Flemington and trashed the courthouse; the movie stars and radio personalities
who were there; Nellie’s Bar at the Union Hotel, etc. Growing up in Flemington he knew many people
associated with the case. Co-author of the book “New Jersey Lindbergh Kidnapping
and Trial” he will attempt to talk not about weather Hauptmann was guilty or
not, but all the crazy things that occurred in and out of the courtroom over
the five months that Hauptmann was in the Flemington jail.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Amsterdam is in the northwest corner of Holland Township in Hunterdon County. Many of the early settlers migrated from Upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania shortly after the turn of the 19th century. The members of the Rapp family were known for their carpentry and engineering skills; their barn which was built in 1824 and enlarged in 1844 (according to dendrochronology), shows unique construction features; their gravity fed water supply accompanied a Victorian bank house. Jacob Ulmer was a cobbler whose shop remains over a springhouse in a rare combination outbuilding. "Sinclair and Snyder" operated a store and John Snyder was a blacksmith. Five bank barns can be seen within the hamlet including one an intricate switchback engineered to access the upper level . Also illustrated are several house plan types, including an early two-story single room stone dwelling and the John Kooker house with two front doors.</span></span></div>

The Iron Works were owned by William Allen and Joseph Turner, Philadelphia businessmen. The Turner House, constructed about 1760, is believed to be part of the Union Iron Works and was likely later used as a tenant house for the adjacent Union Farm. The original section of the structure was two bays wide (smaller right side of the house) and two stories tall, consisting of four rooms and a large cooking hearth. It was built of stone walls and hand-hewn timbers, covered by a cedar shingle roof. Today, it is a wonderful museum with great talks, demonstrations, tours and events. As part of the celebration of 305 Years of Hunterdon's Historic Hometowns and Hamlets, the Joseph Turner House, courtesy of the Union Forge Heritage Association, opens it doors for you. </span><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">117 Van Syckels Road, </span><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Hampton, NJ 08827.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What we know today as Oldwick used to be called New Germantown until 1918, when anti-German sentiment caused the name to be changed to Oldwick. The reason behind the name Oldwick is that wick means village and since at the time of the change the village was old, it was named Oldwick, meaning old village. Prior to New Germantown, the village was named Smithfield, after its principal resident Ralph Smith. Oldwick is on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places and was the first historic district in Tewksbury to have been done so back in 1979, one of the earliest in Hunterdon County. We’ll see over a dozen different types of architecture employed on Oldwick’s historic business and residential buildings.<br /><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1545832226994_1052661">Tour length: 2 hours</span><br />Free but Reservations are Required</span></div>

The Lowerys will entertain attendees with stories of Colonial Flemington with a focus on their early lives here as immigrants from Ireland and their relationship with the Fleming family. The Colonel will also tell us about his time in Flemington as a merchant. He also served as Quartermaster to George Washington during the Revolution. His warehouse in Flemington, containing stores for the Patriots, was the object of a British raiding party from Penny Town. This raid resulted in the skirmish with the Flemington Militia led by John Schenk at Geary’s Ridge and the death of Cornet Francis Geary who led the British Cavalry. Esther Fleming Lowery was also active during the Revolution. She raised large sums of money to purchase food and clothes to supply Washington’s Army. Following the Revolution, Esther was one of the Ladies of Trenton who funded and planned the reception to welcome George Washington to New Jersey. Both Esther and Thomas Lowery were dedicated Patriots. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This presentation is courtesy of Flemington's Historic Preservation Commission.</span></span></span><br />

In 1888, one of the earliest newspaper references to "Irishtown", in connection with Glen Gardner, appeared in the </span><em id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544584693906_246981" style="background-color: white; color: black;">Hunterdon Republican.</em><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"> Another source described Irishtown as a small settlement of Irish families along present day Route 31, between Glen Gardner and High Bridge. The term "small" is misleading. During the period 1845 -1852, large numbers of Irish, fleeing persecution and starvation in Ireland, emigrated to factory towns like Glen Gardner, High Bridge, Clinton and Lambertville seeking refuge and employment. By 1866, the area's Irish population was so large that the congregation of nearby St. Ann's Catholic church numbered over a thousand. As late as 1901, Glen Gardner's local newspaper, </span><em id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544584693906_246982" style="background-color: white; color: black;">The Weekly Avalanche,</em><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"> noted that, the factory and local businesses of Glen Gardner were closed on St. Patrick's Day. This presentation by local historian and author Charlie Speierl will explore the social, ethnic and economic history of Glen Gardner, and its little known Irish community, during the 19th century. Causes and factors leading to the Irish diaspora and settlement will also be discussed with this interesting Powerpoint presentation that includes period photos and illustrations. </span></span><br />

Have you ever wondered why or how a house or building reached its final destination? Had it been moved from somewhere else in the Borough? </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Join Janice Armstrong, noted historian, preservationist, and heritage educator, for a “Talk and Walk” focusing on 19th and 20th Century House Moving in Flemington Borough. Janice is a life-long resident of Hunterdon County and a retired teacher from Readington Township. Her preservation experience includes working with the New Jersey Historic Trust, Preservation New Jersey, and the Samuel Fleming House Museum and Gardens. She has also taught classes at Drew University for their Historic Preservation program.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Janice is currently writing a walking tour script and training tour guides for tours of Flemington. What started as a simple question about the original location of the Gazebo in Foran Park, led Janice to some interesting stories and photos on house moving.<br />Relocating buildings was a common practice in the late 19th and 20th centuries here in Flemington. Unlike today when we tear down and build again, back then building recycling was the norm. Janice will share some of her stories about and photos of relocated structures, some of which look as though they have always been in their places. We will need to see some of these “in situ”, so following the “Talk” we will “Walk” to see some of Flemington’s relocated houses, particularly along Mine and Main Streets.<br />This talk and walk is open to everyone: feel free to come just for the talk portion of the program if you are not up to walking afterwards.<br />This event is courtesy of Flemington's Historic Preservation Commission.<br /><strong><span georgia="georgia">Rain Date: October 20, 2 pm</span></strong><strong><br />Free bottled water will be available. </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>Virtual tour starts at 2 pm at the Flemington Municipal Building on the corner of Park and Courts Streets (Behind the Flemington Fire Department). Following the virtual tour, folks who want to walk and see some of the buildings discussed will be escorted by Janice.</span><br />

Amsterdam is in the northwest corner of Holland Township in Hunterdon County. Many of the early settlers migrated from Upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania shortly after the turn of the 19th century. The members of the Rapp family were known for their carpentry and engineering skills; their barn which was built in 1824 and enlarged in 1844 (according to dendrochronology), shows unique construction features; their gravity fed water supply accompanied a Victorian bank house. Jacob Ulmer was a cobbler whose shop remains over a springhouse in a rare combination outbuilding. "Sinclair and Snyder" operated a store and John Snyder was a blacksmith. Five bank barns can be seen within the hamlet including one an intricate switchback engineered to access the upper level . Also illustrated are several house plan types, including an early two-story single room stone dwelling and the John Kooker house with two front doors.</span></span></div>

The Iron Works were owned by William Allen and Joseph Turner, Philadelphia businessmen. The Turner House, constructed about 1760, is believed to be part of the Union Iron Works and was likely later used as a tenant house for the adjacent Union Farm. The original section of the structure was two bays wide (smaller right side of the house) and two stories tall, consisting of four rooms and a large cooking hearth. It was built of stone walls and hand-hewn timbers, covered by a cedar shingle roof. Today, it is a wonderful museum with great talks, demonstrations, tours and events.

</div>
<div class="10ptFontforCalendar" style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman";">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Visitors will have the opportunity to become abecedarians, try their hand at orthography using a quill pen and ink, cipher mathematical problems, and learn a sample of New Jersey history. For recess, visitors can play a variety of nineteenth-century games, such as rolling hoops in the meadow.<br />Apple cider and homemade bread with apple butter will be available.<br />Readington Township acquired the property in 1993, and volunteers worked together to rebuild the school house and furnish it as it would have been in the 1830s, with slab benches and board desks around the outside walls and a schoolmaster’s desk in the center. A wood stove provided the only heat, and the families were responsible for providing the firewood. The School Master or Mistress would start the fire early in the morning, and the school boys would be responsible for keeping it going throughout the day. A typical school day went from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon. It was not uncommon for children to attend school for a half day on Saturdays as well. Parents paid for their children’s schooling—usually about $1.50 per child per term.<br />1PM TO 4PM<br />190 Potterstown Road, Lebanon, NJ<br /><a class="blue1" href="https://www.readingtontwpnj.gov/museum-home" style="color: blue;"><b>Visit the Readington Museums Website</b></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here’s an opportunity to visit the City of Rome on Sunday, September 29 without ever leaving Hunterdon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.12px;">This City of Rome was a fantastical real estate development in the hamlet of Oak Grove in Franklin Township. It lasted only from 1899 to 1912 – but took 51 years more until 1963 to clear title to the property so it could be sold as a farm. As the sun sets and twilight descends, Susan Blew, now the owner, will guide guests through the award-winning farm and relate the <i>History of Oak Grove and the City of Rome.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.12px;">A hayride around the 160-acre farm after dark will visit City of Rome sites that continue to fascinate with echoes of long ago. Wine and light refreshments made from Blew family recipes will be served in their twentieth century vegetable barn to top off the evening. Attendance is limited. Dress is hayride casual.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.12px;">City of Rome developers headquartered in Newark planned 2,911 lots drawn on 256 acres without care for the streams, mill ponds, and mill races of the hamlet’s only industry. And no bridge to cross the creek. Lots measured 25 by 100 feet and were priced from $20 to $40 each, depending upon location. There were 18 north-south avenues and 10 east-west streets and a planned shoe factory, church, and two schools. Only some 120 lots were sold, but not one owner ever lived on the land. It appears from the list of buyers that wealthy widows were targeted.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tour includes the 1860 federal style mill house, which the developers called the Mansion Hotel, and the 1849 bank barn, labeled the Hotel Stables. The house still features a free-standing circular stair that led potential buyers to the third-floor ballroom to look over the ambitious project and “get in on the action”.</span></span></div>

Guests should arrive at the farm at 266 Oak Grove Road, Pittstown by 5:30 p.m. to start the adventure promptly at 6:00. The sun sets at 6:43 p.m. that day and dusk falls at 7:10, giving guests daylight time to see the farm, and a new moon evening gathering dark for more drama.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What we know today as Oldwick used to be called New Germantown until 1918, when anti-German sentiment caused the name to be changed to Oldwick. The reason behind the name Oldwick is that wick means village and since at the time of the change the village was old, it was named Oldwick, meaning old village. Prior to New Germantown, the village was named Smithfield, after its principal resident Ralph Smith. Oldwick is on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places and was the first historic district in Tewksbury to have been done so back in 1979, one of the earliest in Hunterdon County. We’ll see over a dozen different types of architecture employed on Oldwick’s historic business and residential buildings.<br /><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1545832226994_1052661">Tour length: 2 hours</span><br />Free but Reservations are Required</span></div>

The Lowerys will entertain attendees with stories of Colonial Flemington with a focus on their early lives here as immigrants from Ireland and their relationship with the Fleming family. The Colonel will also tell us about his time in Flemington as a merchant. He also served as Quartermaster to George Washington during the Revolution. His warehouse in Flemington, containing stores for the Patriots, was the object of a British raiding party from Penny Town. This raid resulted in the skirmish with the Flemington Militia led by John Schenk at Geary’s Ridge and the death of Cornet Francis Geary who led the British Cavalry. Esther Fleming Lowery was also active during the Revolution. She raised large sums of money to purchase food and clothes to supply Washington’s Army. Following the Revolution, Esther was one of the Ladies of Trenton who funded and planned the reception to welcome George Washington to New Jersey. Both Esther and Thomas Lowery were dedicated Patriots. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This presentation is courtesy of Flemington's Historic Preservation Commission.</span></span><br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Following the talk by the Lowerys, Susan Peterson, owner of Teaberry's and a food historian, will do a brief talk on colonial sweets and treats.

In 1888, one of the earliest newspaper references to "Irishtown", in connection with Glen Gardner, appeared in the </span><em id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544584693906_246981" style="background-color: white; color: black;">Hunterdon Republican.</em><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"> Another source described Irishtown as a small settlement of Irish families along present day Route 31, between Glen Gardner and High Bridge. The term "small" is misleading. During the period 1845 -1852, large numbers of Irish, fleeing persecution and starvation in Ireland, emigrated to factory towns like Glen Gardner, High Bridge, Clinton and Lambertville seeking refuge and employment. By 1866, the area's Irish population was so large that the congregation of nearby St. Ann's Catholic church numbered over a thousand. As late as 1901, Glen Gardner's local newspaper, </span><em id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544584693906_246982" style="background-color: white; color: black;">The Weekly Avalanche,</em><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"> noted that, the factory and local businesses of Glen Gardner were closed on St. Patrick's Day. This presentation by local historian and author Charlie Speierl will explore the social, ethnic and economic history of Glen Gardner, and its little known Irish community, during the 19th century. Causes and factors leading to the Irish diaspora and settlement will also be discussed with this interesting Powerpoint presentation that includes period photos and illustrations. </span></span><br />

Have you ever wondered why or how a house or building reached its final destination? Had it been moved from somewhere else in the Borough? </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Join Janice Armstrong, noted historian, preservationist, and heritage educator, for a “Talk and Walk” focusing on 19th and 20th Century House Moving in Flemington Borough. Janice is a life-long resident of Hunterdon County and a retired teacher from Readington Township. Her preservation experience includes working with the New Jersey Historic Trust, Preservation New Jersey, and the Samuel Fleming House Museum and Gardens. She has also taught classes at Drew University for their Historic Preservation program.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Janice is currently writing a walking tour script and training tour guides for tours of Flemington. What started as a simple question about the original location of the Gazebo in Foran Park, led Janice to some interesting stories and photos on house moving.<br />Relocating buildings was a common practice in the late 19th and 20th centuries here in Flemington. Unlike today when we tear down and build again, back then building recycling was the norm. Janice will share some of her stories about and photos of relocated structures, some of which look as though they have always been in their places. We will need to see some of these “in situ”, so following the “Talk” we will “Walk” to see some of Flemington’s relocated houses, particularly along Mine and Main Streets.<br />This talk and walk is open to everyone: feel free to come just for the talk portion of the program if you are not up to walking afterwards.<br />This event is courtesy of Flemington's Historic Preservation Commission.<br /><strong><span georgia="georgia">Rain Date: October 20, 2 pm</span></strong><strong><br />Free bottled water will be available. </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>Ticket holders will be provided with the starting location of the tour.<strong></strong><br />2pm<br />A <span style="color: red;"><b>Wait List</b></span> will be maintained if you are shut out of this event <a class="blue1" href="mailto:300info@co.hunterdon.nj.us" style="color: blue;">by emailing us </a>or by leaving a message at (908) 788-2030<br /><strong><a class="blue1" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/walking-tour-of-flemington-buildings-that-have-been-moved-in-the-borough-tickets-71286843869" style="color: blue;">RESERVE YOUR TICKETS NOW!!</a></strong></span><br />

This village grew as Clinton Station, a depot of the New Jersey Central Railroad. Named for a town in Scotland, the population reached 380 people by 1880. A fairly dense and well-defined village, it is composed of 12 blocks and approximately 150+ structures. The one church in town is the Reformed Church, located on the corner of Beaver Avenue and West Street. The vast majority of the structures are single-family, detached homes dating from 1840-1910. Please join us for a walking tour of our Annandale Village with historian and preservationist Dennis Bertland as our guest speaker on September 21st.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What we know today as Oldwick used to be called New Germantown until 1918, when anti-German sentiment caused the name to be changed to Oldwick. The reason behind the name Oldwick is that wick means village and since at the time of the change the village was old, it was named Oldwick, meaning old village. Prior to New Germantown, the village was named Smithfield, after its principal resident Ralph Smith. Oldwick is on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places and was the first historic district in Tewksbury to have been done so back in 1979, one of the earliest in Hunterdon County. We’ll see over a dozen different types of architecture employed on Oldwick’s historic business and residential buildings.<br /><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1545832226994_1052661">Tour length: 2 hours</span><br />Free but Reservations are Required</span></div>

The Lowerys will entertain attendees with stories of Colonial Flemington with a focus on their early lives here as immigrants from Ireland and their relationship with the Fleming family. The Colonel will also tell us about his time in Flemington as a merchant. He also served as Quartermaster to George Washington during the Revolution. His warehouse in Flemington, containing stores for the Patriots, was the object of a British raiding party from Penny Town. This raid resulted in the skirmish with the Flemington Militia led by John Schenk at Geary’s Ridge and the death of Cornet Francis Geary who led the British Cavalry. Esther Fleming Lowery was also active during the Revolution. She raised large sums of money to purchase food and clothes to supply Washington’s Army. Following the Revolution, Esther was one of the Ladies of Trenton who funded and planned the reception to welcome George Washington to New Jersey. Both Esther and Thomas Lowery were dedicated Patriots. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This presentation is courtesy of Flemington's Historic Preservation Commission.</span></span><br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Following the talk by the Lowerys, Susan Peterson, owner of Teaberry's and a food historian, will do a brief talk on colonial sweets and treats.

In 1888, one of the earliest newspaper references to "Irishtown", in connection with Glen Gardner, appeared in the </span><em id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544584693906_246981" style="background-color: white; color: black;">Hunterdon Republican.</em><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"> Another source described Irishtown as a small settlement of Irish families along present day Route 31, between Glen Gardner and High Bridge. The term "small" is misleading. During the period 1845 -1852, large numbers of Irish, fleeing persecution and starvation in Ireland, emigrated to factory towns like Glen Gardner, High Bridge, Clinton and Lambertville seeking refuge and employment. By 1866, the area's Irish population was so large that the congregation of nearby St. Ann's Catholic church numbered over a thousand. As late as 1901, Glen Gardner's local newspaper, </span><em id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544584693906_246982" style="background-color: white; color: black;">The Weekly Avalanche,</em><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"> noted that, the factory and local businesses of Glen Gardner were closed on St. Patrick's Day. This presentation by local historian and author Charlie Speierl will explore the social, ethnic and economic history of Glen Gardner, and its little known Irish community, during the 19th century. Causes and factors leading to the Irish diaspora and settlement will also be discussed with this interesting Powerpoint presentation that includes period photos and illustrations. </span></span><br />

Her preservation experience includes working with the New Jersey Historic Trust, Preservation New Jersey, and the Samuel Fleming House Museum and Gardens. She has also taught classes at Drew University for their Historic Preservation program.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Janice is currently writing a walking tour script and training tour guides for tours of Flemington. What started as a simple question about the original location of the Gazebo in Foran Park, led Janice to some interesting stories and photos on house moving.<br />Relocating buildings was a common practice in the late 19th and 20th centuries here in Flemington. Unlike today when we tear down and build again, back then building recycling was the norm. Janice will share some of her stories about and photos of relocated structures, some of which look as though they have always been in their places. We will need to see some of these “in situ”, so following the “Talk” we will “Walk” to see some of Flemington’s relocated houses, particularly along Mine and Main Streets.<br />This talk and walk is open to everyone: feel free to come just for the talk portion of the program if you are not up to walking afterwards.<br />This event is courtesy of Flemington's Historic Preservation Commission.<br /><strong><span georgia="georgia">Rain Date: October 20, 2 pm</span></strong><strong><br />Free bottled water will be available. </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>Ticket holders will be provided with the starting location of the tour.<strong></strong><br />2pm<br />A <span style="color: red;"><b>Wait List</b></span> will be maintained if you are shut out of this event <a class="blue1" href="mailto:300info@co.hunterdon.nj.us" style="color: blue;">by emailing us </a>or by leaving a message at (908) 788-2030<br /><strong><a class="blue1" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/walking-tour-of-flemington-buildings-that-have-been-moved-in-the-borough-tickets-71286843869" style="color: blue;">RESERVE YOUR TICKETS NOW!!</a></strong></span><br />

<div class="10ptFontforCalendar" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Visitors will have the opportunity to become abecedarians, try their hand at orthography using a quill pen and ink, cipher mathematical problems, and learn a sample of New Jersey history. For recess, visitors can play a variety of nineteenth-century games, such as rolling hoops in the meadow.<br />Apple cider and homemade bread with apple butter will be available.<br />Readington Township acquired the property in 1993, and volunteers worked together to rebuild the school house and furnish it as it would have been in the 1830s, with slab benches and board desks around the outside walls and a schoolmaster’s desk in the center. A wood stove provided the only heat, and the families were responsible for providing the firewood. The School Master or Mistress would start the fire early in the morning, and the school boys would be responsible for keeping it going throughout the day. A typical school day went from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon. It was not uncommon for children to attend school for a half day on Saturdays as well. Parents paid for their children’s schooling—usually about $1.50 per child per term.<br />1PM TO 4PM<br />190 Potterstown Road, Lebanon, NJ<br /><a class="blue1" href="https://www.readingtontwpnj.gov/museum-home" style="color: blue;"><b>Visit the Readington Museums Website</b></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here’s an opportunity to visit the City of Rome on
Sunday, September 29 without ever leaving Hunterdon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">This City of Rome was a fantastical real estate
development in the hamlet of Oak Grove in Franklin Township. It lasted only from
1899 to 1912 – but took 51 years more until 1963 to clear title to the property
so it could be sold as a farm. As the sun sets and twilight descends, Susan
Blew, now the owner, will guide guests through the award-winning farm and
relate the <i>History of Oak Grove and the
City of Rome. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">It’s new. It’s different. It’s fun. Walk into history
with the Hunterdon County Historical Society for $25/adult. All proceeds
benefit the Society’s mission to collect, preserve, and share Hunterdon‘s
history. Guests should arrive at the farm at 266 Oak Grove Road, Pittstown by
5:30 p.m. to start the adventure promptly at 6:00. The sun sets at 6:43 p.m.
that day and dusk falls at 7:10, giving guests daylight time to see the farm,
and a new moon evening gathering dark for more drama. Reserve your space by
calling the Society at 908.782.1091 today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">A hayride around the 160-acre farm after dark will
visit City of Rome sites that continue to fascinate with echoes of long ago. Wine
and light refreshments made from Blew family recipes will be served in their twentieth
century vegetable barn to top off the evening. Attendance is limited. Dress is
hayride casual. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">City of Rome developers headquartered in Newark planned
2,911 lots drawn on 256 acres without care for the streams, mill ponds, and
mill races of the hamlet’s only industry. And no bridge to cross the creek. Lots
measured 25 by 100 feet and were priced from $20 to $40 each, depending upon
location. There were 18 north-south avenues and 10 east-west streets and a
planned shoe factory, church, and two schools. Only some 120 lots were sold,
but not one owner ever lived on the land. It appears from the list of buyers
that wealthy widows were targeted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tour includes the 1860 federal style mill house,
which the developers called the Mansion Hotel, and the 1849 bank barn, labeled
the Hotel Stables. The house still features a free-standing circular stair that
led potential buyers to the third-floor ballroom to look over the ambitious
project and “get in on the action”.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "new york" , "times" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
