The Flemington Historic Preservation Commission is an advisory body that helps to preserve Flemington’s many historical sites, and encourages the retention and repair of design elements for all historic land or buildings. The Commission recently developed guidelines for historic preservation.

Historic buildings in Flemington include the Union Hotel, which was built in 1814, the 1847 Reading-Large House, a columned Greek Revival home on Main Street, and the Flemington courthouse, which in 1935 became the center of national attention when Bruno Hauptman, charged with kidnapping Charles Lindbergh's infant son, went on trial there.

The Commission sponsors a festival every spring as a fundraising event, and invites artists to the historic district to capture its scenes. The festival also features a public exhibition, a reception party, and a silent auction. Flyer printing in Flemington would be an effective way to promote this and other cultural events to attract more interest and participation.
