The business meeting consisted of opening remarks by Robert von Zumbusch, president of the Kingston Historical Society, and a review of KHS events since the previous annual meeting by Charlie Dieterich, society secretary.
The society then reelected Sharon O’Donnell Hansen, Charles Dieterich, and Robert Brown for three years and
Robert McAuley for a one-year term. President Robert von Zumbusch closed the meeting and introduced our speaker.
Part 1: New Jersey’s Road to Revolution William Krakower (LINK)
New Jersey has always been a diverse and complicated place, with many people of differing ideas and beliefs. In the increasingly tense years before the outbreak of the rebelion in 1775, New Jersey was alive with activity. Will Krakower, author and interpreter at the Princeton Battlefield, discussed some of people, places, and events which drew the Jerseys ever closer to a war which would pit neighbor against neighbor.
This first video includes a brief introduction by Robert von Zumbusch. Questions about part 1 are at the beginning of Part 2 (see below)
Part 2: Commemorating the Revolution at Princeton Battlefield Park (LINK)
Park Historian Krakower shares improvements to Princeton Battlefield State Park as well as future plans to enhance visitor experience at the Battlefield, during and after the 250th anniversary. The video begins with questions about Part 1 (above)
