“Then & Now”

During this time of dealing with the Pandemic, we did not feel comfortable offering programs or events to our membership, friends, and/or to town residents to enjoy.

In lieu of this, we began to send a monthly email to our membership and friends, where we share historical information about a specific location, people, or events in Princeton. We hope you enjoy this outreach initiative.
