2014 SEPTEMBER MEETING

Did you ever hear of Hamilton Township's Washington School? How about Friendship School and Edgebrook School? These were quaint one room school houses that were among Hamilton's early one room school houses back in the days of Hamilton's "numbered schools." Mark your calendars for Monday, September 8th and come down to the lower level of the Hamilton Township Public Library and taste a delicious bit of local history. The Historical Society of Hamilton is on a new road, changing course from non local and generic colonial history to coverage of the incredible historic heritage of our LOCAL area. Stay tuned; great things are coming! Our November meeting will be a command perormance of the very well accepted Chambersburg program presented some time ago; a program dedicated to my very dear friend, the late Maurice "Maury" Perilli.

Our 2014 meeting schedule reflects a new and exciting change in the types of programs that have been presented in the past by the Hamilton Historical Society.  Instead of the non-Hamilton, Trenton, and Mercer County area related programs which resulted in reduced attendance numbers at our monthly meetings, we are bringing truly local historical photos and articles of persons, places and things of local historic interest.The 2014 Society program listed below marked the beginning of our new programs. Unfortunately the April meeting was snowed out, but the May and June meetings were close to standing room only with more than 50 in attendance at each program.
