Move to Steamboat: Business Snapshot Beer Breweries - October 9, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

If you base a towns status on its breweries, Steamboat is in good standing, with Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill, Butcherknife Brewing Co. and Storm Peak Brewing Co. all calling the Yampa Valley home. Below are the two most recent additions to the local brewing scene.

Of water and wort

Butcherknife Brewing Co.

Butcherknife Brewing Co. founders Mark Fitzgerald and Nathan Johansing began serving small home-brewed batches of beer in 2011, donating a large percentage to local charities and fundraisers. Now theyve opened up full time in a 4,000-square-foot brewery with a tap room complete with large tasting room and two garage doors opening to a patio at 2875 Elk River Road.

Right now the brewery produces 60 kegs every 20 days. Fitzgerald said, adding that its beer can be found in such local establishments as Carls Tavern and The Tap House Sports Grill. But the majority of our beer is sold through bottles and cans.

The brewery prides itself on its recipes, attention to detail and good ol Steamboat water. Its the best water in Colorado, Fitzgerald said. Our location provides us first use off the Continental Divide, which means pure, clean water goes into the heart of every batch.

It also helps to have Johansing on board, who earned his masters degree in brewing from the Siebel Institute of Technology and Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany.

Were thrilled to finally deliver our beer to Steamboat, Fitzgerald said, adding that they plan to deliver more than 1,000 barrels in its first year of operation.

FRENCHTOWN: Next 300th event is tavern tour - October 9, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

The Hunterdon County Tricentennial Committee continues to schedule a full slate of events. A tavern tour at the historic National Hotel in Frenchtown is on tap for this Saturday, Oct. 11. For tickets, call 908-788-2020.

Originally built in 1833, the hotel was a 19th-century stagecoach stop, according to the National Hotel history website. The original building on the site was a smaller inn, called "The Sign of the Buck," built by Samuel Powers. It was rebuilt in 1850, renamed "The National Hotel" or "Upper Hotel" by its owner, Robert L. Williams, when the railroad came to town. The Postal Annex on the site was a blacksmith shop, hotel stable, 15-car garage, saloon and billiard parlor, horse shed and restaurant. Additions to the building were made in the 1890s.

Any wayfarer in Hunterdon will notice many longstanding churches dotting the landscape. On Oct. 14, the Tricentennial Committee will host "Less Stately Mansions: The Historic Churches of Hunterdon County, in Building No. 1 at the county complex at 314 state Route 12. Admission is free.

Historian Frank Greenagels powerpoint exploration will focus on the architectural styles, historic roots and interesting and quirky facts about the churches. Following the presentation, Dr. Greenagel will sign the tricentennial edition of his book "Less Stately Mansions," which will be available for sale. This is the companion lecture for the bus tour that will visit some of these churches Oct.18.

General Daniel Morgan, born in Bethlehem Township, fought in the Revolutionary War and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. He will be the subject of a talk by Kingwood Township historian Sal DeSapio at the north branch of the county library system, at 65 Halstead St. in Clinton, from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 21. Admission is free.

Governor Reading was one of the founders and trustees of the original College of New Jersey, which later became Princeton University.

Just in time for Halloween, author Gordon Thomas Ward will present a spooky and scary discussion from the stories found in his book, "Ghosts of Central Jersey." He cautions that these tales may be too scary for children under the age of 13. Refreshments follow.

Historic Chapel Hill homes rich in University history - October 9, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

By Erin Wygant | Published 8 hours ago

While students jog through the many side streets in the quiet neighborhoods of Chapel Hill, the beat in their headphones pushes them past generations of history, though they might not realize it.

In 1793, when University plans were drawn, builders laid out the town meaning the two were and still are very much connected. Chapel Hill is a community where homeowners blend with college students and where residential and commercial life meet along Franklin Street.

The Widow Puckett House on East Franklin Street is one such example. Formerly a widows boarding house and an occasional classroom, the first chancellors residences central location has made it an important player in the Universitys history. Current owners Ann Stewart and Randall Roden take great pride in the story behind their home and said theyre eager to share it with anyone interested.

I feel a real responsibility to learn as much history of the house, to add to it and pass it on, Stewart said. This house has so much history that interesting things happen all the time.

The couple has compiled a list of past owners, including Jane Puckett, the widow for whom the house is named. She housed notable tenants whose names are still visible on the walls.

The students lived upstairs in the attic, and most of them signed their names in candle smudge to the ceiling and now have buildings named after them like Venable, Phillips and Spencer, Stewart said.

The houses history is also constantly evolving with donations from visitors.

People give things to this house all the time, said Stewart, pointing to a picture of the entire University faculty seated in the side yard of the house during the 1870s.

When people leave, one of the things they remember is the town. It is one of the things they come back to see, Roden said. They like to see the same places, and while they come to visit the campus, they also come to see the town and historic district that looks like what they remember.
