  • THE RIBBONS OF HISTORY: THE HISTORIC ROADS OF HUNTERDON COUNTY
    Join County Historian Frank Curcio for a presentation about the fascinating history of the county roads of Hunterdon.  The history of our roads is the history of our County's development.  How did they develop?  Which are the earliest roads?  Where were the King's and Queen's Highways?  A civilization's road system tells us a lot about that civilization; what will our county's road history reveal about us?

FRANK CURCIO is a resident of the Annandale section of Clinton Township. He served as President of the Clinton Township Historic Preservation Commission and as the township’s official Historian. Mr. Curcio is a retired schoolteacher who writes free-lance articles for several newspapers.

He became fascinated with lime kilns and lime burning, and penned an in-depth 132-page “working guide” published in 2006 as Hunterdon County’s Forgotten Lime Industry. Mr. Curcio has a special interest in historic roads, and his research on Hunterdon’s colonial roads will soon result in another published book on local history entitled: “The Roads of Home”.

Frank serves as a Commissioner on the Hunterdon County Culture and Heritage Commission
