The Middletown Historical Society is presenting the first in its special series honoring the 250th anniversary of the nation with a program tomorrow, Tuesday, September 23 at 7 p.m. both at the library and online.America
Andrew Dauphinee, the Instruction and Outreach Librarian for the New Jersey State Library, will present a program on the citizens of New Jersey who were opposed to the Revolution and favored King George III.
Dauphinee will speak on the fact New Jersey citizens were staunchly divided on the subject. Those supporting the British Crown were just as patriotic and zealous as their rebel counterparts.
Dauphinee will dig into one of the most important and effective provincial forces in the American Revolution: The New Jersey Volunteers. The author and librarian will discuss their history, military engagements, and notable figures, leaving viewers with a deeper appreciation for New Jersey’s role in the American Revolution.
The program is offered free in person at the Middletown Library and is also available online, but donations are always accepted. To register for the online presentation, visit MiddletownNJHistory.org.Â
The program is made possible in part through the new Monmouth County Historical Association through the New Jersey State Historical Commission.
