JOHN L. KUSER'S "STRAWBERRY HILL"

This delightful map shows the Pennington-Hopewell- W. Trenton area of John L. Kuser's beautiful estate at the foot of Bald Pate Mountain. Thanks to old time family friend "Beb" Bill Peters for the map.
I HAVE DIGITIZED THIS MAP AT A HIGH (300) DPI SO YOU CAN WANDER
DOWN THOSE BEAUTIFUL OLD COUNTRY ROADS AND VISIT THE BUCOLIC VILLAGES ALONG THE WAY.

    TOM:

    Great map. My wife grew up on Purity Farms and this whole area is her old domain.

    Do you know the approximate date of the map? And is the Kuser abode now Howell Farms, ot that farm above it?

    Aslo does the map extend much below the bottom border here--I'm from White Horse.

    HI BOB:

    SORRY TO SAY THE MAP HAS BEEN POSTED AS YOU SEE IT. THERE ARE NO FURTHER DETAILS N-S-E-OR WEST. THE MAP IS UNDATED. IT WAS FROM THE KUSER FAMILY.

    Hi Tom,

    I have been researching Dairies from the Hopewell Township area and I would like to hear more about Purity Farms. I would also love to hear from Bob Chianese's wife, if you could put me in contact with her.

    Thanks,

    Bob Warznak

    Shows Trenton-Princeton Traction company, which ran until 1940. Chas Lindbergh lived N of Hopewell only in 1932-33. That makes the map probably from right around that limited frame.
