The Hopewell and Pennington train stations not only are historic National Register-listed properties, they also are iconic symbols of our communities. Built in 1876, these stations served over twenty trains a day between Philadelphia and New York in the heyday of the railroads before sinking into disrepair with the decline of railroad traffic. But the stations have since been reborn, as a private residence in Pennington and as a community park and gathering place in Hopewell Borough.

In this presentation, Doug Dixon will present a visual history of these train stations, illustrating their story with photographs and artwork. This talk will celebrate both the history of the railroads in the Hopewell area, and the photographers and artists who captured them in the past. Event will be presented in-person at The Hopewell Theater, 5 South Greenwood Avenue, Hopewell, NJ (masks required) as well as online over Zoom. Registration required at the following link: Hopewell Train Stations. Co-sponsored by the Hopewell Public Library, the Hopewell Valley Historical Society, and The Hopewell Museum.
