• HUNTERDON'S BURIED PAST - LITERALLY. PART I
  Join Bob & Leslie Leith for a discussion about where Hunterdon's most historic figures are buried.   Who are they, where are they, what did they do as part of our past history? As well as a discussion about some of Hunterdon's cemeteries.  Following this lecture, for three weeks, the Hunterdon Tricentennial Committee will offer a Hunterdon's Buried Past Scavenger Hunt designed by the Leith's that participants may download and print out.  It will lead participants through the 26 municipalities to explore the graves of historic persons.
