Hunterdon Land Trust's History Day - Session 2
Celebrate local history at the Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers’ Market on Sunday from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm at the Dvoor Farm, 111 Mine Street in Raritan Township, NJ.
HLT’s History Day – Session 2 will feature two programs, and begins at 9:30 am when Dave Harding, HLT’s director of outreach and a local historian, will discuss the 1803 murder at the Case-Dvoor Farmstead. The talk includes a brief overview of slavery in New Jersey, the tannery business that operated on the property for decades, and the basement murder. The presentation also features a tour of the historic 1798 stone farm house.
At 11:00 am HLT will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the cease fire ending World War with a program by Brian Armstrong in the wagon house. He'll tell you all about Hunterdon County servicemen who served in the war and will offer a brief overview of the conflict and the political climate when the U.S. entered it.
An independent historian, researcher and author, Armstrong frequently lectures throughout the state on local history. He holds a BA degree in history and a BA in political science from American University, Washington, DC. He is Vice President, Central Region, for the League of Historical Societies of New Jersey and lives in Hunterdon County.
Both events are free; registration is not required.
Programs in HLT’s second History Day – the first was held in July -- is supported by the Astle-Alpaugh Family Foundation. Additional funding is provided by The Tyler Foundation -- PNC Charitable Trusts.
HLT’s Farmers’ Market features a variety of local farmers and vendors offering organic produce, all-natural meats, honey, fresh-baked breads, cave-ripened cheese, eggs, locally roasted coffee, hummuses, salsas and more. Visitors can enjoy a flatbread pizza made with ingredients provided by local farmers.
