The newspapers of the early 20th Century published "happenings" in various communities. These are invaluable as they give us a glimpse of people and places in bygone days.
Broad Street Park is one of the oldest sections of the Township of Hamilton, Mercer County, New Jersey. It is an area consisting of the environs of South Broad Street to the bluffs overlooking Spring Lake and the marshes of John A. Roebling Park. It is a primarily residential neighborhood. The Township's first fire company was organized there and the Township's original police station was located there for many years. Postings from Deutzville and Fairview Park are included.
Hi Jim-
ReplyDeleteI, too love the social events info posted in the newspapers. It really lets you see into their lives. I never knew my great-great grandfather fell through a trap door! lol
Have a very Merry Christmas and keep up the good work in 2011!
