The Hackettstown Business Improvement District, in partnership with the Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame committee, is currently seeking nominations for the Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame Class of 2026. 

The Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame was established in 1997 to recognize individuals aged 60 and above who reside in the Hackettstown area/Northwest New Jersey region and have made a significant impact in the lives of others in the community, primarily through volunteerism. Since its inception, over 274 members have been inducted into the Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame. 
Individuals who are 60 years of age or older as of January 1, 2026, are eligible to be nominated, and nominations should include ample details of the nominee’s volunteer activities and accomplishments. Inclusion of up to two supplemental testimonials and/or letters of recommendation is also encouraged. Nomination forms must be received by Friday, February 27 to be considered by the selection committee.  

Those selected for membership in the Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will be recognized during a celebration luncheon and ceremony in May, Older Americans Month. This year’s luncheon will be held on Wednesday, May 27, from 12-2 pm at David’s Country Inn in Hackettstown.
