1913: HAMILTON TOWNSHIP'S WASHINGTON SCHOOL

If you drive down Hughes Drive to an area near the entrance to Mercer County Park, you will see the location of the old Washington School. The students who attended that grand old edifice included legendary Hamilton pioneer names: Tindall, Pullen, West, Rogers, Hughes, Hutchinson, and Robbins, among others, The above graphic can truly qualify as a bit of Hamilton history. The map has been cut and pasted in order to outline (Gray area) of the
road described as "on the road from Hamilton Square to Quaker Bridge." The clapboard sided Washington School house is pictured in the background.
