HPL "Wednesday Night Out" Lecture Series -- October
Mount Rose: History, People, and Whiskey Wednesday, October 2, 7:00 pm- at the Hopewell Theater 5 S. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell NJ Free and open to the public Local architect Max Hayden will discuss the history of Mount Rose, the unincorporated community on the ridge south of Hopewell Borough, at the corner of Princeton Avenue / Carter Road and Pennington-Rocky Hill Road / Cherry Valley Road. Originally known as Stout’s Corner, Mount Rose emerged as a village in the 1820s. By 1880 it boasted a school, post office, sawmill and several shops. It was perhaps best known as a center of applejack whiskey production, with two distilleries operating into the early part of the 20th century. The office building of the former Mount Rose Distillery remains, and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Max Hayden, a resident of Mount Rose, lives in one of the oldest surviving homes in Mount Rose. He is also an architect who saved two cottages from the original Brookside Motel, a Mount Rose institution built in the 1930s. He is a member of the Historic Preservation Commission of Hopewell Township. |
