2023 Henckel Family Reunion to be the weekend of June 16-18, 2023

New Market, Virginia

Planned activities will provide an interesting and informative weekend for attendees.

FRIDAY – June 16 – 7:00 PM

Our reception will be hosted by Bob and Margie Moore on Friday evening at 7:00 PM at the historic Emmanuel Lutheran Church in New Market. We will also have registration for the reunion during the reception at the church.

SATURDAY – June 17 – 8:30 AM

We will meet at the church for registration for those who did not arrive for the Friday evening registration. We will then go over the schedule for our planned activities during the day in historic New Market.

These include a presentation on the history of the Henckel Press (Hinkle Printing Company) from its inception to its closing in the 20^th century. In addition to the many booklets, newspapers and newsletters they published were many books both in German and the English language. During our New Market tour we will see the refurbished Henckel Press sign on the side of the building where the press was located at one time.

We will conduct a walking tour of the cemetery of the Emmanuel Church where many members of the Henckel family are buried.  The epitaphs on the stones contain a huge amount of history.

Note: Southern Kitchen will deliver a box picnic lunch to us at 11:30 AM at the pavilion at New Market Park.

We will visit the old Hinkle House which Hinkle descendant, Joe Tuesing has made parts of into a museum. Mr. Tuesing will describe the exhibits and tell of his interests in developing them. We will then go back to the Quality Inn where our annual banquet and business meeting will take place starting at 6:30 PM.

This being the year for election of association officers (executive committee), election will be conducted during the business meeting. A copy of the program and detailed schedule will be provided to you at registration.
