North County, Once Bethlehem Township, During the American Revolution
Mayor and historian Paul Muir hosts this event at the Bethlehem Municipal Building's Courtroom. Our favorite retired Social Studies teacher and Bethlehem resident, Chip Riddle, provides his wonderful story telling about the area and its importance during the 18th century -- Bethlehem once encompassed today's Kingwood Township, Alexandria Township, Frenchtown, Milford, Union Township, the Town of Clinton, Franklin Township, Hampton Borough, Bloomsbury, and Glen Gardner.
This informative history of the northern part of our County highlights the important role it played in the American Revolutionary War. A companion book, written by Chip Riddle and published by the Hunterdon 300th, is now available for sale.
A topic of interest for anyone interested in the early history of the northern part of Hunterdon County.

The Gold Star Mother Pilgrimage of 1930
Join us for a gold star event as Jim Davidson, East Amwell Historical Society President and historian - and collector of Gold Star Pilgrimage memorabilia - tells the fascinating story of the 193 Gold Star Mother Pilgrimage. He will also exhibit much of his rare memorabilia.
World War I was the first war in which large numbers of Americans died in France and Belgium; most were shipped home for burial in their home towns. But over 35,00 were buried on foreign shores.
After 12 years of pressure on the government, gold Star Mothers, mothers whose sons paid the ultimate sacrifice, were offered all expenses paid 5 week trips to visit France, England or Belgium to see the final resting place of their sons. Over 11,000 mothers or widows were qualified to go, almost 7,000 actually made the trip, including 4 from Hunterdon County. The pilgrimages were sponsored from 1930-1933 and were not without controversy since the Great Depression was raging.
Free.
