Hello JB Vogt,

I'm in Florida working out of my laptop and with no files with me!, and
don't have all the information available, but the Holcombe-Jimeson Farm near
Lambertville is associated with the Hunterdon County Historical Society
located in Flemington. They have restored barns and other buildings and have
an extensive assortment of farm equipment and memorabilia from earlier times
in Hunterdon.

Please contact Roxanne Carkhuff at the HCHS (I don't have phone number, but
should be in the phone book). She will put you in contact with the
appropriate people connected with the farm.

Regards, Bill Hartman

Subject: [NJHUNTER] Marston Mettler Federal Farmhouse


> This Hunterdon County vernacular farmhouse, formerly listed on the
Hunterdon County Historic Listing, needs a new home. Four years ago we
rescued this house from the bulldozers, dismantled and documented it, and
have it stored in a trailer. We initially planned to erect it as an
addition for our own use, but unforeseen circumstances eliminated our need
for it. We have been hoping to find another Hunterdon resident who might
have an interest in it. We would like to see it stay in the county. We
would really like to see it go to Mettler descendents. We might possibly be
willing to donate it to a Hunterdon County historic society. We don't want
it to go for salvage.

> I apologize for making this appeal on listserve. We welcome any
suggestions for a home for our orphaned farmhouse.
