The Hunterdon County Historical Society was founded in 1885 in Flemington to “collect all possible important County historical facts…for future reference” thus: Collect, Preserve and Share became their mission.
A sampling of the Society’s collection includes Lenape Indian artifacts, genealogies of Hunterdon County families, records of businesses, churches and civic groups, historical manuscripts, 5,000 printed volumes, photographs, maps and County newspapers since 1825. They are stored in a two-story, state of the art, environmentally-controlled archives building at 67 River Road in Raritan Township designed to serve archival needs for the next 50 years.
