On one of this Summer's more-bearable days we ventured to Hamilton Township to visit the Kuser Farm Mansion built in 1892. The Kuser family was a large one with ten children, and wealthy; having invested in local breweries and Fox Films, the predecessor of 20th Century-Fox Studios. They had a penthouse on East 57th Street in NYC as well as this large Summer house. We were warmly greeted by all the staff and then given a tour by a very knowledgeable Docent, Nolan. What immediately impressed us was that the house was fully-furnished and in overall excellent condition. Other than possibly the style of the furniture, it looked in move-in condition. There was also a Summer-long exhibition of period-based wedding dresses, which further improved the overall experience.

For safety concern I make sure cars had a limit on the speed and a few speed bumps perhaps just something to make it safer with Crossing areas for families. Nothing in the way of huge expenditures just signage planning. Some repairs to the restroom such as the sinks in the men's area. Otherwise a pleasant place to visit it just needs a little tender loving care so used to say. Got some public Outreach with some members of the public planting aiding grass in the area with seed that...
