Today at our annual spring meeting, we said a fond farewell and a huge thank you to two longtime Board of Trustee members, who have decided not to serve another term. Lora Jones (left) and Board President Charles Fisher (right) will be sorely missed and cannot be thanked enough for all their efforts and energy in helping preserve Hunterdon County's rich history.

Down on the Farm...It's been a while, but after a long hiatus the HCHS Archives program has a new collection available for researchers, when researchers are allowed back on to the premises, of course. That new collection is Collection No. 232: Hunterdon County Farm Collection (1880-2000). This collection includes a group of various records that were donated to the HCHS by the Holcombe-Jimison Farm Museum.Highlights of the collection include a series of 65 notebooks and pocket diaries produced by Paul L. Holcombe, a beekeeper and deputy bee inspector for the State of NJ, ca. 1889-1963. Other interesting records include Holcombe family farm scrapbooks(1880-1940); a farm account book of Robert Manners (1943); and various other farm day books, photographs, and scrapbooks. This collection would interest anyone researching either Paul Holcombe, early beekeeping, or general farming records of Hunterdon County.The container list for the collection may be found here: hunterdonhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Collection-232-Container-List.pdfSpecial Thanks to Archival Volunteer Ken Cleary for arranging and describing this collection! ...
