Event Details
The Chatham Township Historical Society presents this hybrid program featuring a presentation by Kevin Woyce on our State Parks.
Some of New Jersey's most exciting history can be found in our more than two dozen State Parks. Old names such as Wawayanda and Hopatcong remind us of the Lenni Lenape, or "Original People." Historic battlefields recall New Jersey's perilous years as the "Crossroads of the Revolution." Abandoned forges still speak of our first great industry, and we can trace the beginnings of our transportation network in the paths of the Morris and the Delaware & Raritan Canals.
The slide show includes original photographs of many of New Jersey's State Parks, plus vintage images of historic people, places, and events.
Registration is recommended for in person attendance and required for the Zoom link.
