I find this article to be incredibly interesting! Remember, during those dark and scary years of World War II, America was forced to convert hundreds of manufacturing facilities into war material.

1789: George Washington at the Assanpink "Arch." I am having an incredibly wonderful time doing "deep diving" into early Trenton. I put together the vignette combining 3 separate graphics from the Hamilton Library Local History Collection "MILL HILL" folder. Perhaps one of my viewers can explain the strange engraving of the bridge that shows a strange exit from the bridge. It looks like it could be a dirt street.Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-67433571039801562082019-03-16T19:46:00.000-04:002019-03-16T19:46:40.127-04:001904: JACKSON STREET LOOKING NORTH FROM MARKET<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This incredibly clear photo from the R..C. Maxwell collection (CALL NUMBER XXH1658) recalls Trenton as it was before the societal changes that resulted in "white flight," suburban malls, and inadequate on street parking. Very sincere thanks to the many informed civic minded lovers of this grand old town who are making real strides in bringing back a sense of revival; a revival which is seemingly centered not on State and Broad, but moving a block westward to State and Warren. I love Trenton and always will. I have dedicated my retired years to bringing local history of Trenton, Hamilton, Ewing and other local areas who are keeping that spirit alive.

Look closely at the black and white engraving of the gentleman sitting at his desk in front of shelving filled with vintage (antique) BOUND newspapers. The graphic on the right shows just a very small portion of my 100+ year collection of Trenton newspapers dating from 1869 to the 1940's. There are literally millions of pages in that incredible collection. Back in the 1970's and 80's most libraries made a serious error in using microfilm copies of these old papers in order to save the large amount of space that is required to store these volumes. Microfilm is fine for normal viewing, but the digital scanner can reproduce a copy of the original photo or article that can be reproduced in many cases in better condition than that from the original newspaper page.Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-68834742069854149392019-01-09T22:14:00.001-05:002019-01-09T22:15:09.745-05:00SPLENDID VINTAGE PHOTO OF ROUTE 33 IN THE DEERWOOD SECTION.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love this 1964 photo of Route 33 in the Deerwood section of Hamilton. Many familiar signs including the legendary "Tony Cal's" This graphic is from the "RESTAURANTS AND EATERIES" folder in the Local History Collection of the Hamilton Township Public Library.<br />
