CEMETERY WALKING TOUR OF FRENCHTOWN WITH RICK EPSTEIN: 
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.
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.

THE HISTORY OF THE HAMLET OF WERTSVILLE
The area surrounding the Wertsville Historic District was originally settled by Europeans in 1718, but the hamlet itself was only named “Wertsville" when the post office was established in town in 1854. 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!
2 pm

THE JUTLAND MASSACRE - THE HISTORY AND THE MAKING OF THE DOCUMENTARY
Donations gratefully accepted!
100% of all Donations made at this event will go to make this important film!
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. 
We will start the afternoon out with a great cheese board and appetizers and a welcome by the Mayor of Union Township, Frank Mazza.
Following brief comments by John Kuhl, David and Eric will discuss how they approach making a documentary and what we look forward to when the film debuts. 
We will then step outside and take a short walk to see the house where the siege took place.
Although this event is free, donations are gratefully accepted -- 100% of all donations will be used to produce this film.   We have lots of supporters who have offered the Hunterdon 300th donations in the past which we have always refused.  Now is the time to donate.   A film like this costs about $10,000 to produce. 
The Hunterdon 300th is a 501c3 Not-For-Profit Corporation.
