2019 ushers in Hunterdon County's 305th anniversary! Can you believe that it's been 5 years since our big year in 2014?! Well, we have designed a special them around such a special year! Join us in "CELEBRATING 305 YEARS OF HUNTERDON'S HISTORIC HOMETOWNS AND HAMLETS":
The 300th is partnering with all of our local historical societies, commissions and committees, local museums, and special friends to bring you:
- walking tours of towns and hamlets;
- local museum open houses;
- talks about the history of our local hamlets and small towns;
- historical talks covering the settlement patterns of different nationalities that have made Hunterdon what it is today;
- special, fun events including a Hunterdon History Bowl with prizes for audience participation!;
- a special bus tour that will zigzag and touch all 26 of our municipalities - with stops - in one day!;
- 305 Fun Facts About Our Municipalities;
- a special talk on what makes a hamlet a hamlet (Alas, poor Yorick, this has nothing to do with Shakespeare!);
- and so much more.
WE HAVE ALREADY BOOKED MORE THAN 40 TALKS AND WALKS WITH SOME OF OUR MUNICIPAL PARTNERS and we are planning, in total, about 60 walks, talks and events that cover our municipalities' history!!
