May in Old Montgomery: A Tour of Historic Rocky Hill Homes

Saturday, May 8, 2010

Save the date of Saturday, May 8 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. for the return of popular May in Montgomery, the main fund-raising event of the Van Harlingen Historical Society.

This year's event will feature several charming 19th century houses reflecting a variety of architeture and interior design. The emphasis is on old Montgomery as, indeed, Rocky Hill was part of Montgomery Township until it ceded from the municipality and became a separately governed borough in 1890. Plans are also in the works to accentuate other aspects of Rocky Hill.

Tickets are $20 or $18 if purchased in advance. More information about tickets and the event will be forthcoming.

The Dirck Gulick House and Library are opened on the last Saturday of each month from 10-12. If you are traveling a long distance, please call historian Ursula Brecknell at 908-359-3498 before coming.
