Join Us on Sunday, April 6 for a HCHS Wine Tasting Fundraiser
Supporting local history never tasted so good!
The Hunterdon County Historical Society is teaming up with The Perryville Inn for a wine tasting fundraiser on Sunday, April 6 from 2 to 4 p.m.
The event will include hot hors d’ouevres and an exceptional selection of wines chosen by Chris Cree, who is New Jersey’s only Master of Wine and one of just 57 in the
nation.
Guests will sample fine wines while learning about the inn’s unique history, and how it was saved from destruction in the 1950s. Built in 1813, the Perryville Inn was a favorite stopping place for stagecoaches on the old Easton-to-Brunswick turnpike.
One of the Historical Society’s most prized items is an original wooden sign that hung outside the tavern. One side depicts President Andrew Jackson, the other a large American flag. The sign was purportedly painted by William Bonnell, a well-known
Clinton portrait artist of the 1820s and 1830s.
Cost for the event is $125 per person, with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit Hunterdon County Historical Society. Reserve spots below!
Located at 167 Perryville Road, just off Route 78, The Perryville Inn is home to the Cree Wine Company and is renowned as one of the best places in New Jersey to dine, and to taste, learn about, and buy wine. It also offers wine classes and special dinners.
The nonprofit Hunterdon County Historical Society was founded in 1885 to preserve and share the county’s history. It operates the Doric House Museum, the Hiram Deats Memorial Library and a state-of-the-art archive building that houses a remarkable collection of documents, photos, and artifacts.
