The May 2026 updates to the History Project included images and information on local World War II Pennington Honor Rolls, and Memorial Day parades and veterans observances. (See Site Updates for more.)
Where are the Pennington Honor Rolls?
Following up on the previous post asking for help locating the Hopewell Valley WW II Honor Rolls, we have some more information on honor rolls in Pennington.
The original World War II Pennington Honor Roll was dedicated in 1943, in front of the bank at the corner of Main Street and Delaware Avenue. It was extended later with two side panels for additional names of locals who had entered service.
Three three additional Pennington Honor Rolls, for World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict, are hanging in the meeting room of the Pennington municipal complex.
Hopewell Memorial Day 2026 – Parades and Veterans Observances
The annual Hopewell Memorial Day post outlines the local parades and veterans observances.
The Memorial Day weekend in the Hopewell Valley, features the Hopewell Borough and Pennington Borough parades on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
Local veterans groups also hold memorial observances, including the Memorial Day Ceremony on Saturday at the Veterans Memorial at Woolsey Park, and cemetery and monument services at multiple locations in Hopewell Township on Saturday morning, and in Hopewell Borough and Pennington Borough before the parades on Sunday and Monday mornings.
Please contact us if you have – or know of – other images and materials that we can share to help illuminate the history of our Hopewell Valley.
