Just a reminder that the Homer Hill open house at the Watchung Arts Center is today, noon to 4:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome, and there is something for everyone. Also today there will be railroadiana displays. Homer's widow Jean Hill is coming with additional displays, and their son David. This promises to be a fun day, and well attended. Directions are below. Thanks ....Mike For the month of June 2007, the Homer Hill photography exhibition will be on display in the gallery at the Watchung Arts Center, 18 Sterling Road, Watchung, NJ 07069; _http://www.watchungarts.org/_ (http://www.watchungarts.org/) . To kick off the month, all are invited to an open house at the Arts Center on Sunday, June 3rd, noon - 4:00 p.m. Admission is free, and light snacks will be available. Directions are on the website above, or google the address. Basically, it's a mile south of Exit 40 off I-78 on the Watchung Circle between the firehoues and the library. The Tri-State and Jersey Central chapters of the National Railway Historical Society framed and matted for display several original photographs printed by the late Homer Hill during his life. Homer began taking railroad photos at the 1933 Chicago Railroad Fair. As a Bernardsville resident most of is adult life, and a commercial offset printer by trade, he documented the steam-to-diesel transition era in black and white and in color through the Northeast and in Canada. Passenger trains were his favorites, and there wasn't a train anywhere he wouldn't ride. The subjects include steam on the Lackawanna, Jersey Central and Erie railroads. The Homer Hill Exhibition has been on tour for two years, it last being on display at the Morris County Library during October 2006. This is quite a collection and worth the effort to see it spread out in the fine gallery of the Watchung Arts Center. There is plenty of parking behind the building.
