The Hopewell Inn, also known as the Central Hotel, had a nearly 150-year history as a part of the town of Hopewell before it was demolished in July 2022. The building was used for residential and retail, hotel and livery, saloon and apartments, luncheonette and rooming house, and bar and bistro.

This presentation by Doug Dixon explores the history of the Hopewell Inn, from its beginnings in the 1870s as Hopewell's first drug store, through its heyday as hotel and headquarters for the world press after the Lindbergh kidnapping, to its most recent form as bar and bistro. Doug will explore the people and families who nurtured and reinvigorated the building and its various businesses through the years.

Cosponsored by the Hopewell Public Library, the Hopewell Valley Historical Society and The Hopewell Museum. Attend the event in person at the Hopewell Theater, 5 South Greenwood Ave, Hopewell, NJ or online by registering at the following link: The Story of the Hopewell Inn
