Every day, we all contribute to the future history of the Town of Hunter. As Justine Hommel, past town historian, wisely said, “It’s people who make our history.” While schools, banks, post offices, churches, businesses, and organizations have always played important roles, it is truly the people who shape our story.
As we welcome 2026, I’d like to thank our local newspapers for posting these tidbits of Hunter’s past 212 years. We have an amazing history which the Town of Hunter and the Mountain Top Historical Society strive to preserve. To see how far our town has come in 200+ years, makes you wonder what the next 212 years will bring!
Hunter Township is fortunate to have had numerous organizations dedicated to helping others. Bringing joy to others is another form of helping people. Among them, a group we went to see at the Mountain Top Library this past weekend, is the Songbirds—a group of local women led by Linda Nichols—that bring their music and joy with them to brighten the season for all present. Their volunteer spirit is an indication of the generosity of our community.
As we say goodbye to 2025 and look ahead to 2026, may we stay well, and support one another. Let’s each find a way to get involved—whether by volunteering or simply reaching out to a neighbor.
Thanks for reading.
