From my "HOPEWELL-PENNINGTON" folder, this interesting article detailing the real estate development of the town of Pennington. Did you know that Mayor William Howe purchased and planted trees from Pennington to Ewing, all along today's Pennington Road? He did!

Tom's swimming hole was over at Lakeside or Gropp's and though not as large or grand, Pennington had Hiohela on Route 69 (changed to 31 due to the Class of 69 at Trenton State stealing signs), they had a swim platform and diving board and of course, the Hiohela Bowling Lanes.
ReplyDeleteI got a chuckle reading in a local paper stories of the Twin Pine Airport, amused that some old bird with a twinkle in his eye, took sport with a young reporter. He spun a tale of how Lucky Lindy, yes, Charles Lindbergh kept a Curtis Jenny there some parts of which are still in a dark corner of the hangar. "Sources" tell me that the Lone Eagle had departed New Jersey for England and Paris never to return years before Pennington Airport opened in 1950.
