Fully Booked! HCHS Exhibition on Flemington During Lindbergh Trial
Sorry, we are no longer taking reservations to the Lindbergh
exhibition as we are fully booked.
About 10,000 people crowded into Flemington in February 1935 to await the verdict of Bruno Hauptmann, who was on trial for the kidnapping of the child of Charles and Anne Lindbergh.
Our new exhibition, titled Lindbergh’s Flemington 1935: Businesses, Bars and Boarding Houses will focus on life in the borough at the time of the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping Trial. We’ll explore what happens to a relatively quiet country town when it becomes the cynosure of the world, a place inundated with press, celebrities, and the curious.
The always entertaining Jim Davidson, local historian and author of When the Circus Came to Town, will tell some interesting stories about those six weeks in 1935 when the world’s attention was focused on the borough.

Following the opening, the museum will be open for docent-led on Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m. through the middle of May.
