Trades in the Hopewell Valley

  • Hopewell Museum 28 E Broad St Hopewell, NJ 08535 (map)

We often think about famous figures like George Washington and John Hart when we think about the Hopewell Valley in the late 18th century, but what about the average person that worked a job or a trade just like any of us today? These other figures helped support the community, the economy and gave a richness to life to those living here in the Valley.

Come out to the Hopewell Museum on May 25th and see some of the typical tradespeople that allowed Hopewell to run 250 years ago.
