How many times have you walked down Nassau Street and passed right by the white building with a sign on the front advertising the Historical Society of Princeton, wondering what was inside but decided to skip the visit? Well, I went inside the Bainbridge House and discovered, to my delight, a wonderful exhibit on the history of Princeton. There were many photos and much commentary on the creation of the Boro and local history.

The museum and gift shop is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm-4pm. There is no admission fee. The library is open to the public Tuesdays and Saturdays, 1pm-4pm.

I encourage you to take advantage of the many free services that Historical Society of Princeton offers.

On May 30th at 3pm there is a free museum tour led by a curator. No reservations required, so come on out and learn a little more about Princeton!

Here is a link to their website for additional information on the society and the exhibits, tours and programs they offer.

It was announced last week that Princeton Township and Princeton Boro will have a one year extension on their property revaluation excercise. Originally, the revaluation was expected to be completed by 2009. The municipalities have elected not to approve the current bids for revaluation and allow for more time to ensure that properties receive proper attention in this matter. The new timeline for completion is expected to run through 2010.
