This program is part one of a two-part series exploring the lives and legacies of the notable figures who passed through the Lake Hopatcong Station. This presentation highlights the men, and a companion program celebrating the women is planned for the near future.
Step back in time and uncover the stories of the remarkable men who once passed through the Lake Hopatcong Station, the very building that now serves as the Lake Hopatcong Foundation’s home! Historian Marty Kane, President of the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum and Board Chair of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation, will share fascinating tales of the famous figures who passed through Lake Hopatcong Station and the importance of the building in shaping Lake Hopatcong's rise as a major northeast resort.
During this season of giving, we invite anyone attending to bring donations of unexpired, non-perishable food items. Contributions will benefit local food pantries and help families in need in our community.
This program has concluded, and registration is now closed.
