For Residents
OMHS Meetings
Monthly Old Mill Hill Society (OMHS) meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM at The Lobby Club at 17 East Front Street. Everyone is welcome to attend. The Lobby Club serves food and beverage. Purchasing food or beverage is suggested (they taste good), but is not required for attending meetings.
OMHS meetings are led by the OMHS president, and typically consist of hearing about committee updates (for more information about committees, see the About OMHS page), planning for the annual Garden and House Tours, discussing any ongoing neighborhood efforts, and generally socializing and getting to know neighbors.
OMHS Membership
OMHS membership costs only $10 per adult, per year. Membership grants the ability to vote at OMHS meetings. Additionally, membership grants eligibility for historic preservation grants distributed by OMHS. While everyone (member or not) is encouraged to attend OMHS’ weekly meetings, the membership dues help us cover administrative costs, such as for accounting and maintaining this website.
Membership can be paid online here, in-person at an OMHS meeting, or sent to OMHS’ mailing address at PO Box 1263, Trenton NJ 08607. If paying online, there is a $1 transaction fee – otherwise, there is no additional fee.
