ABOUT SQUIERS POINT
ABOUT SQUIERS POINT
Squiers Point was originally incorporated in 1979 by a group of residents who were instrumental in preserving the abandoned one-room schoolhouse at New Hampton and transforming it into the Lebanon Township Museum. Squiers Point takes its name from the iron furnace that was established by the sons of Governor Reading in the mid-1700s along the Musconetcong River in the northwest part of Lebanon Township.
In 2018, Squiers Point funded an addition to the Lebanon Township Museum that brought indoor plumbing, new heating and air conditioning to the building. In 2020, Squiers Point made possible the restoration of an historic horse-drawn sled donated by the Polt family. Additionally, they provided the funds for the Carriage Shed Museum Annex to house the restored sled and expand the museum's exhibit space.
In 2022, Squiers Point purchased the Mt. Lebanon Church with the intention of restoring the circa 1844 stone building and preserving the graveyard. An Historic Preservation Plan commissioned in 2021 serves as a road map for revitalizing the property for future use by the community while preserving its meaningful history.
