THE AMERICAN ARMY IN HUNTERDON: PRELUDE TO THE BATTLE OF MONMOUTH
Join Historian David Blackwell of Hopewell, NJ for this provocative lecture that is bound to stir some controversy! Revolutionary War researchers and local historians alike have long debated the route or routes General Washington's Army traveled through Hunterdon’s Amwell Valley and surrounding hills on their way to the Battle of Monmouth.  New research, both recently published and ongoing, is answering that question through the voices of the very soldiers who made that journey.  Come hear the compelling echoes of June 1778 as told by the men who lived it.    Refreshments follow
