About Us

The Hopewell Valley Historical Society was formed in 1975 by a group of individuals interested in preserving the rich history of the Hopewell Valley, including Hopewell Township, the boroughs of Hopewell and Pennington, and the villages of Harbourton, Mt. Rose, Titusville, Washington Crossing, and Woodsville, located in Mercer County, New Jersey.
