Program Description

Event Details

Chatham Township Historical Society presents:

Join historian Pat Wells for a lively history of Morris County’s remarkable Great Swamp. She will take us from the time when ancient Lake Passaic drained away to leave a swampy remnant through our current times. We will learn how humans have interacted with and affected the Swamp and the living things within it by using it, abusing it, trying to obliterate it, and finally saving it.

This program will be presented in person at the library, with an option to join by Zoom.  Registration is requested if attending in person and required to receive the Zoom link.
