Coming in May
Years in the making, Stories of Hopewell Valley - Celebrating 50 Years of the Hopewell Valley Historical Society is a coffee table size book documenting 50 years of HVHS efforts to uncover, preserve, and cherish the history of the Hopewell Valley - from pre-European settlement to the 20th century. A labor of love from the volunteers of the HVHS, Stories of Hopewell Valley will be available in both hard and soft cover versions starting at our 50th Birthday celebration - details to come.
About the hopewell Valley
Comprising Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Township, and Pennington Borough, the Hopewell Valley was the Crossroads of the American Revolution. It was here that Washington's troops crossed from Pennsylvania to turn the tide of the war by defeating the Hessians at Trenton. It was this close-knit community of Valley residents, yearning for freedom, who guided the troops and gave everything they had for liberty.
But, who cherished the land before the Europeans came? And who came after the Revolution to develop towns and churches, schools and farms?
At the HVHS, we will tell you, show you, and immerse you in the rich history of our Valley.
