I CREATED THIS, AND THE PRECEDING JOHN ABBOTT II GRAPHICS TO PLACE THE SPOTLIGHT ON ONE OF HAMILTON TOWNSHIP'S HISTORICAL TREASURES, THE JOHN ABBOTT II HOUSE. I TOOK THESE PHOTOS OF THE AREA A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THAT AUGUST GROUP OF HAMILTON HISTORIANS. AS I PILE ON THE YEARS, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT ALONG WITH THE JOHN ABBOTT II HOUSE, THERE ARE MANY OTHER HISTORICAL TREASURES IN HAMILTON TOWNSHIP. ACCORDINGLY, I CREATED http://www.glover320.blogspot.com/ . THE SITE WAS CREATED IN NOVEMBER, 2005. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS FASCINATING JOURNEY BRINGING LOCAL HISTORY NOT ONLY TO HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, BUT ALSO TRENTON AND THE OUTLYING MERCER AREA. I AM ALSO PROUD OF THE FACT THAT I ENCOURAGED GARY LIPPINCOTT WHO IS A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE HISTORIAN ON GROVEVILLE TO START A WEBSITE FEATURING GROVEVILLE. GARY DID AND HIS http://www.grovevillememories.blogspot.com/ IS A WONDERFUL SOURCE OF HISTORICAL ENLIGHTENMENT. NOW I AM WORKING ON BROAD STREET PARK HISTORIAN JIM COLELLO TO CREATE A BROAD STREET PARK WEBSITE. JIM IS AN EXPERT ON THE HISTORY OF BROAD STREET PARK. I AM NOT AS ACTIVE IN THE HAMILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY AS WHEN I WAS THE PRESIDENT, BUT I STILL ADMIRE THEIR DEDICATION TO THE PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS WONDERFUL HISTORIC TREASURE.BE SURE TO VISIT THE JOHN ABBOTT II EXHIBIT AT THIS SUNDAY'S SEPTEMBERFEST! IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST STOPS AS YOU ENTER VETERANS' PARK ON THE KUSER ROAD ENTRANCE. HAMILTON'S NEW HISTORY BOOK WILL BE ON SALE: $10.00 SOFT COVER, AND $20.00 HARDCOVER.
