The Hopewell Quarry swim club, east of Hopewell Borough, was once the site of a rock quarry that operated from the 1890s to around 1920, making crushed stone for local roads. And the stone crusher equipment did provide the name for the adjacent Crusher Road.

In this profusely illustrated presentation, Doug Dixon will survey local history from stones to swimming, the story of the growth of the Hopewell area, and of the dedicated efforts by a handful of couples and families to preserve and enhance this local resource for over a century. Co-sponsored by the Hopewell Valley Historical Society and The Hopewell Museum as part of the Hopewell Public Library's Speaker series.
