DR. JAMES GIGANTINO PRESENTS: GOVERNOR LIVINGSTON AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Please join the Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commission as we welcome Dr. James Gigantino II to discuss his recently published biography of New Jersey’s first governor, “William Livingston’s American Revolution.” After working as a lawyer in New York City for over 20 years, William Livingston retired to Elizabethtown (modern day Elizabeth, NJ) to live a quiet life. There he was drawn into the growing resistance to Parliamentary involvement in colonial affairs and quickly rose to a leadership role as a delegate to the Continental Congress, where he served from 1774 to 1776, when he was elected governor. Governor Livingston exercised extraordinary power through the Council of Safety during the critical first years of the American Revolution. New Jersey’s proximity to loyalist held New York, allowed Governor Livingston to have an immediate impact on the war as he “struggled to mobilize reluctant militiamen, rein in loyalists as well as his own rambunctious legislature, and staunch the flow of intel into British-held New York City” (Woody Holton). After the war, he served in the Constitutional Convention. Livingston was re-elected governor every year from 1776 until his death in 1790.

IT MAKES A VILLAGE
2019 Opening Talk on the theme "Celebrating 305 Year's Of Hunterdon's Historic Hometowns and Hamlets"
Or does it make a hamlet? Or a small town? Or a borough? And what exactly is "IT"? What did it really take to make a settlement a settlement in our 18th and 19th centuries? Then for it to thrive... and to survive. A river? A church? A road? A tavern? Why did some remain viable and grow, while others all but disappeared? Discover the logical and sometimes surprising ingredients that created our early Hunterdon hamlets and villages when Marilyn Cummings takes us on a nostalgic journey into Hunterdon's past, which remarkably is often our present as well!

IF THESE STONES COULD TALK
Join us as we celebrate Black History Month with this wonderful talk and book-signing by local authors Beverly Mills and Elaine Buck as they present "If These Stones Could Talk: African American Presence in the Hopewell Valley, Sourland Mountain, and Surrounding Region of New Jersey" -- a compelling group of stories about a Black minority in a predominantly White region. It provides a unique window to this little known part of history here in rural New Jersey - hamlets and hometowns that were once all part of Hunterdon County and, up until now, missing from the historical record. Beverly Mills is the first African American woman to be elected to the Council in Pennington Borough and Elaine Buck is Church Clerk for the Second Calvary Baptist Church of Hopewell.
