Description

Discover the human stories behind the histories of several of the Hunterdon County area’s earliest buildings.

The Hunterdon County Historical Society will welcome architecture historian Robert W. Craig, who will draw on his more than two decades of extensive research and his experience with the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office to discuss the building of “old" Hunterdon County.

The program is free, and everyone is welcome to attend.

Titled They Will Build It, If You Come, the presentation is derived, in part, on research Craig has done for a book about the building of the mid-Atlantic colonies.

Craig was the editor of the book Down Jersey, From Bayshore to Seashore. In 2018, he completed a multi-year study of New Jersey’s patterned brickwork buildings for which he received the Paul E. Buchanan Award from the Vernacular Architecture Forum.
