Who we are

It all started when…

Friends of Millstone Township Historic Registered Properties, Friends of MTHRP for short, is a 501C3 non-profit organization dedicated to furthering public interest in conservation, preservation, knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the history of Millstone Township.

On October 15, 2012 the Friends of MTHRP hit the ground running…and haven’t looked back since! This was the day the TBH closed and the Friends became its caretakers. The Friends rallied the community and jumped in with both feet to improve the Baird Homestead and began to ready it for visitors, community education and school programs. The TBH is an early 19th century home owned by Millstone Township and financially supported solely through fundraising by the Friends group that has grown to include many generations of supporters.

Our first seven years have been packed with excitement, unimagined growth, trials and dedication to our vision. Credit for our successes must go to our hardworking dedicated trustees, volunteers, tenacious planning, and completion of tasks and the ability to leverage our funds to achieve maximum effect.

Our top goals for 2024-2025 are:

To grow our volunteer base significantly

To increase community involvement across all age groups

To maintain a regular Open House schedule

To increase our annual appeal by 20%

To be able once again to host events at the Clarksburg Cultural Center on a regular basis.
