CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Readington, New Jersey featuresstretches of rural countryside and acollection of historic homes that recall
19th-century Hunterdon County. The region isknown for its incredible beauty and tranquility,with picturesque farms that have changed littlesince the county was founded in 1714.
With canoeing on the Delaware River, horsetrails, hiking, and golfing, it is truly an outdoorlover's delight. Located halfway between NewYork City and Philadelphia, Money Magazinenamed it one of the best places to live in 2007.And that's how life is in Readington (pop. 16,126),362 days a year.
For the other three days—this year it's July25-26-27, 2014—it is magically transformed intothe third largest city in the state for its openspaces attract an activity that contradicts its set-ting in the most densely populated state in theunion: it is the hotbed of hot air ballooning.
The last weekend of every July,Readington's rural Solberg Airport is the site ofthe annual QuickChek New Jersey Festival ofBallooning, the largest summertime hot airballoon and music festival in North America.
Featuring twice a day mass ascensions ofmore than 100 balloons from around the worldand a live concert series featuring Grammy Awardwinners, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and the lat-
QUICKCHEK NEW JERSEY FESTIVAL OF BALLOONING

33RD ANNUAL SHAD FESTIVAL
On the weekend of April 26 and 27Lambertville will again host its annualShad Festival. The festival highlightsthe arts community and, of course, thatDelaware River delicacy, shad. Whatwas once a small art show is now animportant regional event drawing peo-ple from the entire region and beyondto look at and buy jewelry, ceramics,apparel, accessories, furniture, crafts,home décor, woodwork and otherproducts of the area's finest artisans.The times to go to this free event thatis spread throughout the business sec-tion of Lambertville is from 12:30 to5:30 rain or shine.
est teen sensations (helping launch the careers ofrising Disney stars the Jonas Brothers and DemiLovato), the Festival attracts upwards of 165,000people and worldwide media coverage.
A truly international event, the QuickChekNew Jersey Festival of Ballooning has beennamed one of the Top 100 Events in NorthAmerica six times by the American BusAssociation, a list coveted by travel tour andmotorcoach operators and the general publicalike (other recipients include the 2010 WinterOlympics, Mardi Gras, the Texas State Fair, theIndianapolis 500, and numerous Super Bowls).
Opening Day on Friday, July 25 is “Balloons,Tunes & Booms”—a mass ascension of 100balloons at sunset, followed by a headlining con-cert and fireworks.
Saturday, July 26 is “Summer's Biggest BlockParty”—the Festival has drawn as many as90,000 people that day alone–with two massascensions, two concerts and the “Greatest Glowon Earth,” a nighttime balloon glow in whichballoons are inflated, tethered and lit up like giantlanterns in conjunction with the evening headliningconcert.
Sunday, July 27 is “Health & Wellness Day”which typically features a “Running with theBalloons” 5K charity race and Fun Run, amorning mass balloon ascension, and an after-noon headlining concert followed by a closingmass ascension in the evening.
Pilots from 25 states and three countriesare expected to fly at this year's 32nd annualFestival.
With twice-a-day mass balloon ascensions,a live concert series, morning-through-night fam-
ily entertainment, age-appropriate children'sentertainment and amusement rides, interactiveexhibits from some of the leading consumerbrands in the world, and hundreds of arts andcrafts and food vendors, the average family stayis seven and a half hours. “We're more than justa lot of hot air,” quips Festival ExecutiveProducer Howard Freeman.
Think state fair with balloons–100 of themtaking to the skies twice a day at dawn and dusk.This “magic of ballooning” may attract 165,000people but these balloons are nothing like whatDorothy and Toto ever imagined.
The QuickChek New Jersey Festival ofBallooning is known for bringing in “specialshaped” balloons. Awe-inspiring to say the least,these have included a 115-foot tall flying light-house from QuickChek; the PNC American Flag,the world's largest free-flying American Flag; an86-foot tall replica of Darth Vader's head fromStar Wars; a 100-foot long replica of Noah's Ark;a 105-foot tall Elvis, 80-foot tall pink elephants,12-story tall dinosaurs and an 80-foot tall birth-day cake.
This “love at first flight” extends to the near-ly 1,000 adventurers and romantics who pur-chase their own hot air balloon rides at theFestival; one or two engagements take placeeach year during these magic carpet rides.
Following Freeman's belief in “doing well bydoing good,” the Festival has raised more than$2.3 million for local and regional charities andnon-profit groups including volunteer fire depart-ments, ambulance corps, school groups and theChildren's Miracle Network.

When you want to get away from the
hustle and bustle of everyday life,
plan a relaxing getaway to Milford,
New Jersey’s exclusive riverside bed
and breakfast, Chestnut Hill on the Delaware.
Started in 1982 by Linda and Rob Castagna, Chestnut
Hill is located in the W.E. Thomas House. (For those who
know Italian, Castagna means chestnut.) According to the
Milford Borough Historical Society’s Walking Tour, the
house was built by Wilson Thomas in 1860 for his bride
Lizzie. It was the first home in Milford to have plumbing.
The Thomas family owned the landmark gristmill in
Milford, started the first bank, and produced Milford’s
first mayor.

Why trek to New York City or
Philadelphia to enjoy a show, when
there is a professional company right
here in scenic Hunterdon County?
Since 1981, Hunterdon Hills Playhouse, located in Hampton,
New Jersey, has been the state’s premier dinner theatre. Open
year-round, the showplace presents New York area talent in
musicals and comedies.
According to Manager Ken Schwarz, the original
Hunterdon Hills Playhouse was built in 1939 from a reno-
vated barn on a 300-acre dairy farm back in the woods about
midway between Baptist Church Road and Mechlin Corner
Road in Union Township. It later was expanded to include a
restaurant on the property. “The Playhouse provided summer

“In 1979, we purchased the Playhouse. Before
renovations got underway, it was destroyed by
fire. We had to search for a new location, and
found one two miles from the original site.
On March 9, 1981, we opened our doors with
the comedy Harvey.”
Since then, Hunterdon Hills Playhouse
has had over 140 productions with such stars as
Jamie Farr, Pat Cooper, The Drifters, The
Duprees, and Mickey Rooney. Along with
shows, the Playhouse hosts weddings and ban-
quets. Guests can enjoy special events using
The Atrium, The Grand Room, or the Gazebo
& Grounds, complete with a lakeside terrace,

meals expertly prepared by their chefs. “We also
have our own bakery, where we prepare a delec-
table and mouthwatering assortment of breads,
baked goods, and desserts daily. They accompa-
ny your meal and also can be purchased to take
home,” Schwarz says.
Hunterdon Hills Playhouse has an excit-
ing schedule of performances for 2014.

JERRY CABLEJerry Cable’s paintings of rural
Hunterdon County induce feelings ofserenity and a longing for a quieter time
BY MICHELE MALINCHAK

24 Hunterdon County Guide 2014
The great Greek playwright
Aristophanes once said, “Let
each man exercise the art he
knows.” From an early age,
artist Jerry Cable has
achieved this through his paintings. Whether
it be landscapes, still lifes or portraits, his sub-
jects take on an inner glow that emanates from
his deep understanding of them.
Born in East Canton, Ohio, in 1956, he
was raised on a farm and began painting while
in grade school. Recognizing his talent, his
parents hired private art instructor Jean
Browne to begin teaching him at age ten. Jerry
studied under her tutelage up until high
school. An artist in her own right, she return-
ed home to Ohio from Philadelphia to care for
her ailing mother. Leaving behind her dream
of becoming a serious artist, she lived vicari-
ously through her students.
Jerry remembered doing plein air paint-
ings in one of Jean’s classes surrounded by
adults. “There I was, 12 years old and painting
alongside all these grownups,” he said.
He gratefully acknowledged the support
he received as a child. “If one’s environment
nurtures the creative spirit, then that’s a huge
help,” he said.
When he wasn’t painting, Jerry was
involved in his local 4-H Club, becoming the
fourth generation of his family to join. He
showed Suffolk sheep for his project and today
his portraits of sheep are among his most
popular works. One in particular, Princess Luluis radiant with light shining through her pink
ears and reflecting off her wool coat. She is all
the more mysterious because her eyes are hid-
den beneath tufts of wool, leaving only a
quizzical expression on her face.
While some of his paintings are based on
his farming past, he is also inspired by bucolic
scenes of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maine.
Like other impressionist artists, he strives to
capture a specific scene or moment, one in
which the viewer can find beauty and stillness.
His farmhouses, barns, farm animals and
coastal scenes are nostalgic of a quieter time.
“I’ve always liked architecture and history,”
he said, “especially working farms.”
He was first influenced by the New Hope
Impressionists of Pennsylvania as well as the
Old Lyme Art Colony in Lyme, Connecticut.
In the early 1900s, the village of Lyme was the
setting for one of the largest and most signifi-
cant art colonies in America for impressionists.
The boarding house of Florence Griswold was
the gathering place for many artists such as
Childe Hassam and Willard Metcalf. Now a
museum, Jerry has been inspired by his visits
there.
After graduating high school, Jean told
him he had to go to New York City if he was
serious about becoming an artist. Heeding her
advice, he attended the Pratt Institute in
Brooklyn, New York, on a partial scholarship.
Jerry studied there from 1974 to 1978 and
received a BA in fine art.
Trained in a traditional painting style, his
realistic work was not well received or popular
Like other impressionistartists, he strives to capture a specif ic scene
or moment, one in whichthe viewer can f ind beauty
and stillness.

at that time. As a result, he was pushed into
illustration as a way of earning a living and
started his own freelance graphic design
business.
Jerry married in 1979 and he and his wife
Nancy moved to Madison, New Jersey, and
later Flemington. The couple, now divorced,
have three daughters: Jessica, Marina and
Andrea. For 24 years Flemington was home
and while living there Jerry eventually made
the switch from graphics to fine art.
In 1992 he taught design and computer
graphics at the duCret School of Art in
Plainfield, New Jersey, the oldest art school
in the state. He taught there intermittently
for eight years and today remains on the
school’s board of trustees. As a teacher, Jerry
took groups of students to study art abroad
and seeing great painters like Claude Monet
and Camille Pissarro had a lasting influence
on his work. In addition to the duCret
School of Art, Jerry also taught for two
semesters at University of the Arts in
Philadelphia.
In 1996 his mentor, Jean died. She had
always wanted him to return to painting and
left him her two easels, her paint box and
brushes and a note that said, “It’s time.”
She would no doubt be pleased with the
outcome. Sitting in his Stockton, New Jersey
studio in an old converted barn, the artist
reflected on his almost 50 year career. He has
exhibited in more than 50 juried exhibitions
including The Philadelphia Sketch Club
and The National Art Club of New York
City along with more than 35 solo exhibi-
tions. As the artist-in-residence for
Hunterdon County Town and Country Living
magazine, his paintings were featured exclu-
sively on the covers.
“I’ve come full circle,” he said, regarding his
style. Looking around at his art he said, “I
began by doing realistic works, then developed
a looser, more impressionistic style. Now I’m
back to doing tighter, more realistic work.”
His paintings are known for their tonal
and luminous quality and value plays an
important role. Like the American tonalist
painters of the 19th century, he emphasizes
mood and atmosphere by using a predomin-
ant neutral color. In addition, his work is
bathed in a tranquil light, characteristic of
the luminist painters. Mostly using fine
brushstrokes, his unique style often combin-
es elements of luminism, realism and
impressionism.
Jerry works from sketches and studies
done on sight but also relies on photos. His
paintings are meticulously detailed and time
consuming to create, involving many layers of
colors. Because each layer must dry before
applying the next, he often has five or six
paintings going on at the same time.
For the past 15 years, the artist has also
spent summers painting and teaching
workshops at his studio on Monhegan Island,
Maine. Once a popular artists colony, the
rugged seacoast is a source of inspiration for
many of his paintings. His work is represented
there by the Lupine Gallery as well as by other
galleries in Maine, Massachusetts, Delaware
and Pennsylvania.
He recalled how he and other artists on
the island will often analyze the colors in a
sunset, comparing them to the names of oil
paints like Thalo Red or Cadmium Orange.
“When I paint sunsets I actually see a lot of
green,” he said.
Jerry’s palette is often subdued and he
enjoys using neutral colors like gray. Another

Hunterdon County Guide 2014 27
art instructor on Monhegan once asked him,
“How do you paint all these different grays?”
Jerry smiled and said, “I told him I see gray as
other colors—cool and warm.”
His nocturnes are evocative studies of light
and dark. In Door Yard Snow the cool
moonlight contrasts with the warm glow
coming from the farmhouse, as does the dark
night sky with the white snow.
Jerry’s work is available for purchase as
original paintings or giclee prints. “I want peo-
ple to be able to enjoy my work at whatever
level they can,” he said. “I’ve even had some
galleries say they wouldn’t ever show my work
because it’s reproduced.”
Though he’s dabbled in other mediums
like watercolor, pen and ink and colored pen-
cils, oil painting remains his favorite. “I’d like to
return to portraits and do more equestrian art,”
he said.
Looking ahead to the future he mused, “It
will be interesting to see where I’ll be in five
years.” As an artist he realizes the need to keep
growing and reinventing himself in order to
reach new heights.
In some ways, his work can be compared
to the Wyeth family of Chadds Ford,
Pennsylvania. Both Jerry and N.C. Wyeth
were illustrators, and the paintings of Andrew
Wyeth and his son, Jamie, reflect a similar
love of the land as Jerry’s. He pondered how
and if it might be possible to take his art to a
level such as theirs. “I give advice to my stu-
dents all the time—who do I go to for
advice?” he asked.
Jerry Cable’s studio is now located at 24
Rister Street in the historic Prall House
where he is the artist-in-residence.

Settlers in the late 1600s came here from the
Netherlands, Germany, Scotland, England, Ireland,
and other parts of New York and New Jersey.
Hunterdon County, however, did not get officially
incorporated until March 22, 1714. That means that
this spring Hunterdon County will be 300 years old.
At one time Hunterdon County was much larger and actually
stretched from the New York state line to Burlington County. It
was the largest county in New Jersey, yet even after its division into
several counties, Hunterdon County and its small towns and rural
farmland, has made numerous contributions to the history and cul-
ture of New Jersey and our nation.
Hunterdon County is a county made up of picturesque small
towns. The towns featured in this Guide to Hunterdon County’s 300thAnniversary do not exhaust the towns in Hunterdon County, but
they give helpful information on the history and attractions of
Hunterdon County.

Hunterdon County’s only city, Lambertville, NJ, began as
Coryell’s Ferry in 1732, then Lambert’s Ville in 1810 with its
new post office, and finally Lambertville when incorporated in
1849. It is recorded that John Holcombe, the City’s first set-
tler, came in 1705.
Lambertville’s history is filled with interesting facts. Coryell’s
Ferry operated for about 100 years between Lambertville and
New Hope, PA. It played a pivotal role during the Revolutionary
War. A wooden bridge was built between Lambertville and New
Hope in 1814. It was destroyed by flood in 1841. The second
bridge came in 1842, and was taken by flood in 1903. The six-
span Pratt truss New Hope-Lambertville Toll Supported Bridge
that stands today was built in 1904. Thousands of pedestrians
cross this bridge over the Delaware River annually. In 1830, the
State of New Jersey began work on the Delaware & Raritan
Canal. 1848 brought the discovery of California gold by James
Wilson Marshall. His boyhood home, The Marshall House, is
the home of the Lambertville Historical Society. The Belvidere
Delaware Railroad came to Lambertville in 1851. The

Pennsylvania Railroad took over in 1871. The
railroad brought opportunity, and factories
made wheels, rubber, hair pins, even toilets. In
1937 the railroad was abandoned after many
companies closed.
Scattered throughout Lambertville are
numerous historic sites. Mary Sheridan Park
has the Civil War monument. There is the
Holcombe House, its first section circa 1733.
Washington stayed here July, 1777 and June,
1778, prior to battles of Germantown and
Monmouth. Throughout Lambertville are
signs marking the Road to Monmouth
Battlefield. Washington and his army camped
here in 1778 en route to the battle of
Monmouth, NJ. Nearby the City is the
Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead Museum, as
well as Howell Living History Farm.
Many of Lambertville’s present day busi-
nesses are historic sites. Lambertville Station
Restaurant is located in the restored
Lambertville train station. The Inn is a recent
addition. Lambertville House, built in 1812 by
Captain John Lambert as a stagecoach stop, is
now a luxury hotel. Inn of the Hawke, built in
the early 1860s as a riverfront home, is now an
inn and restaurant.
Lambertville is home to several
houses of worship. First
Presbyterian Church of
Lambertville was built in
1825. Revolutionary War
Lieutenant George Coryell is buried in the
cemetery. He also was pallbearer for General
Washington. Also buried here is Sam
Holcombe, one of Washington’s spies.
Centenary United Methodist Church was
dedicated in 1867. St. Andrew’s Episcopal
Church was built in 1891. St. John the
Evangelist Roman Catholic Church was ded-
icated in 1893.
The City also is a haven for artists and the
creative. Along with numerous artist studios
and galleries, you will discover centers for the
arts. Riverside Symphonia, a Delaware Valley
community orchestra, is headquartered here.
The group is known for their performances at
St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic

Church. Canal Studio Theater is home to pro-
gressive Roxey Ballet. Newly formed
Lambertville Music Hall is headquartered in
the former First Baptist Church. From 1949 to
1971, stage and film stars performed in tented
theaters at the Lambertville Music Circus.
Foodies will enjoy the mix of cafes and
restaurants in Lambertville. Every year,
Lambertville and New Hope host Restaurant
Week. For those who want fresh ingredients
for at-home preparations, there is New Hope’s
Rice’s Sale and Country Market. This 30-acre
outdoor market has been open since 1860. If

galore. Three popular antique stops include
Golden Nugget Antique & Flea Market, The
Rago Arts and Auction Center, and The
People’s Store Antiques and Design Center.

Hunterdon County in 1785. Hunterdon County was established
in the year 1714 when it separated from Burlington County.
A majority of the Borough of Flemington is registered with
the National Register of Historic Places. There are numerous his-
toric sites visible when traveling throughout Flemington. The
present Flemington Baptist Church was built in 1927. There is
the 1864 Central Railroad Station. At one time, there were three
railroad lines in Flemington. Flemington Free Public Library was
founded in 1910. The Headquarters Library is located on Route
12 in Flemington. Flemington United Methodist Church was

Hunterdon County Historical Society, which
was founded in 1885. Perhaps the most
famous site is the Hunterdon County
Courthouse, built in 1828. The Lindbergh
trial of 1935 was held here. Across the street
is the Union Hotel, built in 1814. The jury
and members of the press were stationed
here. Efforts are currently underway to
restore the Union Hotel. Down the street
from the Union Hotel is the Flemington
Children’s Choir School, founded in 1895.
The Civil War monument, built in the late
1800s, is in the center of the Borough. Near
the monument is 1883 Flemington
Presbyterian Church. Off of Flemington’s
Main Street you will find the Samuel
Fleming House, previously called the
Fleming Castle. Located near the outskirts of
Flemington is the Reading Home. It was
built in 1760 for New Jersey Governor John
Reading.
Agriculture has always been a major part
of Flemington’s history. The Flemington Fair
was first held in 1840. In 1856 the
Hunterdon County Agricultural Society
bought over 40 acres for the Flemington Fair.
Flemington Speedway, also located on the

Hunterdon County’s Borough of Stockton. Named Reading’s
Ferry, then Howell’s Ferry, and Centre Bridge Station, the village
became Stockton in 1851 when it opened its own post office.
Stockton has a rich history. In the late 1790s, Revolutionary
War veteran John Prall, Jr. built nine buildings, including a
sawmill, grist mill, grain silo, and linseed oil mill. The property
also had a quarry. Today it is known as the Prallsville Mills
Complex, which is part of D & R Canal State Park. Across the

street is the John Prall Jr. House. The
Delaware River Mill Society preserves the
site. Being near the Delaware, Stockton need-
ed its own bridge. A covered six-span wood-
en toll bridge was built in 1814 between
Stockton and Centre Bridge, PA. The Town
truss bridge was destroyed by fire in 1923.
This fire was captured in a painting by
American Impressionist Edward Redfield.
The current six-span Warren truss bridge
opened in 1927. Along with the bridge fire,
Stockton has endured a quarry explosion in
1888, floods in 1903, 1936, and 1955, and a
town fire in 1905. 1832 brought the con-
struction of the canal. The Belvidere
Delaware Railroad came to Stockton in 1852.
The Stockton Deli and Food Store is located
in the historic railroad station. Down the road
from the station is the oldest three-room
schoolhouse in the state of New Jersey.
Established in 1872, K-6 Stockton School is
going to be incorporated with West Amwell
and Lambertville pre-K-12 to form one
school district. Along with education,
Stockton’s residents value faith. Stockton
Presbyterian Church has been open for wor-
ship since 1867. Stockton Wesleyan Church,
formerly Berean Baptist Church, was dedi-
cated in 1861. The Stockton Methodist
Episcopal Church, built in 1876, is now a
Masonic Lodge.
Visitors love coming to
Stockton for its shops and
restaurants. One particular
landmark, the Stockton
Inn, dates back to 1710. It
was a private residence, then a tavern, hotel,
and finally an inn. In 1933, Rodgers and Hart
wrote the song There A Small Hotel, inspired
by the Inn. It was in the 1936 Broadway
show, On Your Toes. During the 1940s, the Inn
was frequented by writers and artists, includ-
ing Helen Hayes, Moss Hart, George S.
Kaufman, and Dorothy Parker. From the
1950s to 1970s, the Inn brought numerous
celebrities, including Jackie Kennedy
Onassis. Another popular foodie destination
is Stockton Market, an indoor artisan mar-
ketplace featuring fresh merchandise from
local farms.
Like the 1940s, Stockton still is a draw
for the creative. Art centers can be found in
the center of the borough, as well as at
Prallsville Mills Complex. Artsbridge, River
Union Stage, The Opera Project, and The

Sergeantsville
Located in the center of Delaware Township is the historic village of
Sergeantsville. Established in 1827, the town is named after the Sergeant family of
local business owners. Green Sergeant’s Covered Bridge, the last covered bridge in
New Jersey, is located west of the village. It was built in 1872 with abutments dating
to 1750. The bridge crosses the Wickecheoke Creek between Sergeantsville and
Rosemont. From the early 1700s to 1900s what is now The Sergeantsville Inn was a
residence, a grain and feed store, a grocery store, an ice cream parlor, and a pelt trad-
ing center. The restaurant opened in the early 1900s.

LLocated along the Delaware River is the Hunterdon
County Borough of Frenchtown. Formed in 1867,
Frenchtown gets its name from the early settlers who were
French speaking.
Frenchtown holds some historic gems. The Bridge Cafe is
situated in Frenchtown Railroad’s former train depot. The
Belvidere Delaware Railroad came to Frenchtown in 1853.
The Frenchtown Inn, circa 1805, is one of Frenchtown’s orig-
inal hotels. The National Hotel, established in 1850, was a
stagecoach stop for such historical figures as Annie Oakley
and Buffalo Bill Cody. The 1878 Widow McCrea House Bed
& Breakfast is an Italianate style Victorian inn. Frenchtown’s
town hall and library, built in the 1840s, was the original
Presbyterian Church. In 1854, the second Frenchtown
Presbyterian Church was built to accommodate a growing
congregation. In 1861 the building of Frenchtown Baptist

Milford
Situated along the Delaware River is Hunterdon County’s
Borough of Milford. First named Burnt Mills, then Millsford,
then finally Milford, the Borough was incorporated in 1911 and
registered in 1925. The Milford Mural, painted by Adrienne
Crombie on the town post office wall, depicts a glimpse of life
back in that year.
Proudly called Milford on the Delaware by the community,
Milford has a rich history. Milford served as a ferry crossing to
and from Pennsylvania starting in 1760. Early in the 19th centu-
ry, Milford was a stopover for logging crews on their way to
Philadelphia. In 1842 the Upper Black Eddy-Milford Bridge was
constructed. This covered bridge was destroyed by flood. The
present bridge, which has a Warren truss, was built in 1933. In
1853, Milford was added as a stop on the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad. Milford Station Bakery is currently located in the train
depot. Next to the depot is the original gristmill built in 1799.
Opposite, the Ship Inn is the first brew pub in New Jerseysince Prohibition to brew its own beer on the premises.

With the railroad came opportunity. In
1907 the Riegel Paper Corporation was built.
It was a major employer for Milford until its
closing in 2003. But the people of Milford
did not just work. The Milford Opera House,
circa 1895, provided entertainment. It still
stands on Carpenter Street. The present
Riegel Ridge Community Center in Holland
Township was constructed for workers and
their families. Another historic Holland
Township landmark is the Volendam
Windmill. Although the museum is closed, it
is worth taking a drive to see it. In 2009, the
Milford Borough Historical Society was
founded to preserve Milford’s local historic
resources and educate the community about
local history.
Walking through Milford, one can see
the original architecture. The Ship Inn, New
Jersey’s first brewpub, is located in the 1860s
Victorian building known as The Town
Tavern. Chestnut Hill on the Delaware,
Milford’s Victorian bed and breakfast, was
built in 1860. First United Church of Christ
dates to 1827. The impressive Presbyterian
Church of Milford, formed in 1832, stands
proudly on Bridge Street. Down the road,
Milford Oyster House is set in a lovely his-
toric stone building.
Milford has a selection of boutiques,
antique stores, and restaurants. Local fresh
produce can be had from such sources as
Phillips Farms, Tassot Apiaries, and, June
through September, the Holland Township
Farmers’ Market. Bobolink Dairy and
Bakehouse makes artisanal cheeses. Alba
Vineyard & Winery, as well as Villa
Milagro Vineyards, in nearby Finesville,
offer wines to go with those cheeses.

General George W. Taylor, Hunterdon
County’s only Civil War general. Clinton
United Methodist Church was built in
1839. The Clinton Baptist Church, now
Evangel Chapel Clinton, was dedicated in
1872.

stores, cafes, restaurants, a bakery, even a
bookstore, are scattered throughout the
Town of Clinton. There is the Riverside
Victorian Bed & Breakfast, which was built
in 1882. The Clinton House, established in
1743, offers a premier Hunterdon County
dining experience. The Clinton Farmers’
Market, held May through October, fea-
tures goods from local farms for fresh at-
home cooking.
The Town of Clinton has much in store
for visitors. Walking through Clinton, there
are rows of Victorian homes to take in. By
the mills, you can kayak, fish, or watch the
ducks. Recreational activities also can be
enjoyed at Spruce Run Recreation Area, as
well as Round Valley Recreation Area.
Both are just a short drive from Clinton.
Year round, the Clinton Guild presents
special events. Dickens Days, for instance,

Annandale
Located within Clinton Township is
the village of Annandale. Covering 12
blocks and 150 buildings, Annandale grew
out of a railroad hub named Clinton
Station formed in 1852 by the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. It is now a station
on NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley Line. The
only church in the village, Annandale
Reformed Church, was established in
1866. Beaver Avenue, the main road in
Annandale, was part of the New Jersey
Turnpike, which ran from New Brunswick,
New Jersey to Easton, Pennsylvania. Jones
Tavern on Beaver Avenue was established
in 1760 by Captain Thomas Jones. During
the American Revolution, it was one of the
recruiting stations for the militia of
Hunterdon County.
High Bridge
Close to the Town of Clinton you will
find the Borough of High Bridge. This
Hunterdon County borough, located near
the Raritan River’s South Branch, was
established in 1898. High Bridge got its
name from a high bridge built by the New
Jersey Central Railroad. High Bridge is
now a stop on New Jersey Transit’s Raritan
Valley Line. There are many historical
places in High Bridge. One such site pre-
served by Union Forge Heritage
Association is the 1710 Solitude House
Museum adjacent to Lake Solitude. It was
the homestead for five generations of com-
pany presidents for Taylor Iron and Steel
Company (TISCO). George and Martha
Washington and Aaron Burr were among
the visitors to the house.
Califon
Califon is a borough in Hunterdon
County’s horse farm country. The
Victorian town was originally named
California after enthusiasm with the Gold
Rush. The town’s name was shortened to
Califon. Califon officially formed in 1918.
It was a stop on the Central Railroad of
New Jersey from 1875 until 1976. There
are 170 structures in Califon registered
with the National Register of Historic
Places, including the original schoolhouse,
blacksmith shop, tannery, and The Station
at Califon, the 1875 rail station and head-
quarters for the Califon Historical Society.
Pittstown
The village of Pittstown is found in
Franklin Township, as well as portions of
Alexandria and Union Townships in
Hunterdon County. Founded in the 1740s
as Hoff ’s Mills, it was changed to Pitts
Town in the 1760s. During the American
Revolution, Pittstown was the center of
activities due to Moore Furman, Deputy
Quartermaster General of New Jersey for
the Revolutionary Army. He was responsi-
ble for supplying the troops with supplies
throughout the state. Pittstown was an
important rural hub from the mid 1800s to
early 1900s for railroad transport and agri-
culture. The Pittstown Inn has been vital to
the village since the 1790’s.

Since 1997 the Milford Oyster House,
a New American style restaurant has
been owned by Amy Coss and her
brother, Chef Ed Coss. A graduate of The
Culinary Institute of America, Chef Ed has
worked for several prestigious restaurants,
including The Ryland Inn. In 2005, Chef Ed
moved the restaurant from Bridge
Street to a nearby historic stone mill
on Water Street, circa 1820.
“We care about what you eat. Our
fruit comes from Phillips Farms. We
use all fresh seafood in season from
the Jersey Shore. It is all wild caught
seafood. We have a dedicated New
Jersey seafood purveyor. Our cheese
and beef come from Bobolink Dairy.
Twin Bulls Farm supplies most of our
eggs and seasonal produce.
Homestead Coffee Roasters supplies
our coffee. Our wine list features local
vineyards Villa Milagro, Alba
Vineyard, and Sand Castle Winery. And
Chef Ed grows some of his own produce.
Everything is fresh and we are able to follow
the distribution back to its original source,
local when possible, ” says Amy Coss.
Celebrating 17 years in June of this year,
Milford Oyster House has customers who
keep coming back. In fact, they have had the
same friendly staff for the same number of
years. One element for their loyal customers
is the atmosphere. “The dining room fea-
tures exposed stonewalls and a gas fireplace.
Pierced tin Colonial lanterns cast patterns
on the ceiling. The decor is crisp in blue and
white. Tables are set with white linen table-
cloths and napkins,” Coss says. For those
who want casual dining, there is the tavern.
“The less formal tavern area, with dark
green decor, features winged chairs and
tables for those who do not want to sit at
the bar,” Coss says.
There are different menus to choose
from at Milford Oyster House. With the
House Menu, specialties include homemade
ravioli or a dozen steamed clams for an appe-
tizer. The house salad is a mixture of greens
and garden veggies topped with creamy tar-
ragon dressing. For an entree, there is Oyster
House Shellfish Stew with clams, mussels,
shrimp, and scallops, or Shrimp & Scallop
Scampi served over roasted garlic polenta. “A
dozen or more specials are offered each day,
depending on what is freshest in the market.
Some specials we have served include Crab
Norfolk, Prince Edward Island Mussels,
