Boonton Historical Society receives gift from Helen Dixon
On December 19th of 2011, the Boonton Historical Society received a substantial gift from the estate of Mrs. Helen Dixon Kunzelmann who passed away in Bennington Vermont
The Boonton Historical Society was established in 1959 as a non-profit organization, and has continued its efforts through the years to protect and preserve Boonton's unique history, landmarks, and culture. Located in the John Taylor House at
210 Main Street, the Society maintains both a museum and extensive archive there.

Trustees of the Boonton Historical Society are honored to accept this generous gift from Helen Kunzelmann. These funds provide an endowment that will serve to perpetuate the history and heritage of Boonton through its Historical Society for many years to come.
Throughout her life, Mrs. Kunzelmann remained a friend to the Historical Society as well as many other local organizations. We are forever grateful that she chose to remember us in this way. Although Mrs. Kunzelmann lived in Vermont
We were pleased to welcome members of the Jefferson Township Historical Society to our Pathways of History event. Museum Director and Vice President, Carol Ann Keppel asked us if we would like a spinning wheel for the Miller-Kingsland House. The wheel is contemporary with the older section of the house and we are hoping that we can see it being used as part of our Pathways of History event later this year.
If you know someone who would like to give spinning demonstrations at one of our events, please have them contact us.
