​Aaron Hamburger was a long time supporter and founder of the Arden Craft Shop Museum with his wife Sally who was a founding Mother of the Museum.  The Hamburgers moved to Arden in 1968 and raised 3 daughters here Marjorie, Amy, and Julianne, and welcomed an exchange student from New Zeeland, Jenny Carr, who was considered family.

​Aaron was very involved in the community life of Arden, specifically as the President of the Arden Club.  During his years as president Aaron would be heavily involved with the Arden Fair.  Enjoy these pictures of Aaron from his years of involvement with the museum, the Arden club, and other community events!  Be sure to visit the Arden Craft Shop Museum during the Fair!
