To promote interest in the history of Kingston, NJ and to foster research skills, we present our first “Kingston History Mystery” at our dedicated webpage. All are welcome to propose answers. To propose an answer, fill out the form on that page. We will verify identities before posting results at the end of the month.
Our first mystery involves dating a photograph of Kingston. Good luck!
Last fall Markus McParland came to the Kingston Historical Society with a proposal. As a school project he wanted to do research on Kingston’s history.
Since that time he’s found hundreds of new items and stories related to Kingston’s past. He recently put out a call to the community, placing these posters around town:
He recently visited a trustee’s meeting and shared some of his work. We at the historical society wish him luck as he completes the project!
And his dad, Glenn McParland, has joined the Kingston Historical Society as a trustee!
