History group picks officers.
The Hopewell Valley Historical Society (HVHS) recently opened an exhibit at the Hopewell Township Branch, Mercer County Library.
The exhibit is entitled "William P. Howe Pennington Visionary." Mr. Howe arrived in Pennington Borough in 1910, twice served as mayor, and founded Howe Nurseries.
Through the kindness of his descendants, as well as private donors, many personal items from the Howe family are on view.
The display was prepared by HVHS trustees Jack Koeppel, David Blackwell and Jack Davis, chairman of the Collections Committee.
For information on the display, call Mr. Davis at 730-8552. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
