Join us on Saturday, November 14th at 1:00pm for the latest program celebrating the 250 Anniversary of the American Revolution. Historian Judith Krall-Russo will give a fascinating presentation on the New Jersey Greenwich Tea Party.

As we all learned in school, The Boston Tea Party is a well-known rebellious act in the American fight for freedom. But did you know there were many such rebellious “tea parties” throughout the colonies, one of which occurred in 1774 in the southern New Jersey village of Greenwich? Learn about this Tea Party and the importance this area of the state has played in industry, agriculture, and manufacturing from colonial times.  

No registration required, however seating is first-come, first-seated.
