Rutherford has a history that is incredibly rich. Please share your history with us.

So what the heck is going on here?

RutherfordHistory.com went live Dec 1st 2008 with the intention of being the central website for Rutherford history. It was created by Local Historian and Historic Preservationist Bill Neumann in conjunction with the release of his book Rutherford: A Brief History. After completing the book, Neumann saw the continued need to establish a content rich internet site for the discussion on history and historic preservation in his home town.

RutherfordHistory.com is a newborn website that is just starting to crawl but is already looking towards a slot on the RHS Spring Track Team. But it needs a lot of coaching.

RutherfordHistory.com is for the total townie who still has an old chicken coop in their backyard and ex-R'fordians living in Paris who wish they were still here.
