To honor the 90th anniversary of Krug’s Tavern, a statewide New Jersey non-profit that preserves and promotes New Jersey’s local history was honored when Krug’s Tavern story was recommended to be added to the New Jersey Historic Village collection. “I was so happy to formally nominate Krug’s to the village collection,” says Brooks Betz, Trustee at the Mr. Local History Project.
