The Hancock-Henderson Quill, Inc.
The 3rd Grade classes of Union Elementary School and their teachers Mrs. Keimig, Mrs. East, and Mrs. Lumbeck, enjoyed learning their history lessons last Thursday with a trip to Raritan and a guided tour through the Historical Society's Henderson County Museum.
Key figures at the museum are a prominent Raritan couple, Jim and Doris Cook. The Cooks put countless hours into its upkeep, and head tours through the five buildings which are full of the county's heritage.
