Richard Hunter, president of Hunter Research, Inc., a Trenton-based historic preservation consulting firm, presents. Mined for trap rock on and off for more than a century, the Moore’s Station Quarry on Route 29 in the northwest corner of Hopewell Township ceased operation in 2023 and is preparing for a new life as a Mercer County park. This gigantic hole in the ground, a geological marvel exposed by the progressive removal of the western end of Baldpate Mountain, has a fascinating, little known history. Register. In person or via Zoom.
