Hackettstown Historical Society Christmas and Winter Holiday Museum Open House
at the HHS Museum at 106 Church Street, Hackettstown
Friday December 2, 2022 from 5pm - 8pm
All are welcome - Hackettstown Residents, Non-residents, as well as
Centenary Students, Faculty & Staff!
Thanks to the generosity of the Covert Family, we are once again able to host a
part of John Covert's collection of hundreds of Santas! Mr. Covert is a Civil
War Reenactor and Historian. He is especially proud of his Civil War and
Coca-Cola Santas, both of which will be on display, along with many others!
Light refreshments will be served & we'll have LIVE holiday music!
Members & Friends of the Hackettstown Historical Society
We'd like to extend a fond "Thank You" to all who registered and came to our
two night Fall Lantern Tour. Our last one was in 2019, and suffice it to say,
we depend not only on memberships, but also these Tours and other fundraising
events in order to fund our ongoing operating expenses. We have felt the
loss of income, and this was a great boost for us, both in ticket sales, as
well as in sales of books and other surplus items we had available.
Phil Dzielski, Board Member and Director of Media Resources
Please remember, the museum is ever changing, I love the quote,
“History comes alive at our House.” Please come and bring the children.
Gwen Chaar, President Emeritus and current Board Member
