Book Release and Author Discussion 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12 - The Road Along the Rocks 1758 "The Bungtown Road" by John & Barbara Hencheck is a new historical research book on the early history of Lambertville, (Coryell's Ferry). Meet the authors. This is a great opportunity to buy the book and really delve into the maps and the other primary documents through a program of give and take involving the attendees and the authors!
If a road is hidden in the woods, intact after 300 years but out of sight and out of use, is it a road? Not just a road but one with a historic pedigree that authors John and Barbara Hencheck, longtime Lambertville residents, ascribe is second to none in all of America.
The history of this road is unparalleled in the service it rendered to the County of Hunterdon. This road was used to transport locally produced distilled spirits to New York earning it the moniker "The Bungtown Road" for the bung which sealed the product in the barrel. This trade provided a very high level of wealth to Amwell Township, and Coryell's Ferry in particular. The high level of maintenance afforded this road made it a major artery for the combatants in the American Revolution: Charles, Lord of Cornwallis, subaltern James Monroe, and General George Washington marked their places in history in some measure by traveling this road.
