Newark Rotary supports local history

Donation helps museum purchase historical photo collection

The Washington Township Museum of Local History (WTMLH) would like to formally thank the Newark Rotary Foundation (NRF) for years of supporting the local history of Fremont, Newark and Union City.

Recently, the NRF granted WTMLH $2,000 toward the acquisition of an album created in the 1880s by local amateur photographer Charles Plummer. The album had been sold at auction. Thankfully, however, it and its approximately 300 photos were spotted online by a local history aficionado. It is now permanently housed at WTMLH.

The generous support of NRF helps the museum continue to keep history alive in the tri-cities.
