ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS HISTORICAL SOCIETY MONTHLY MEETINGS
To better understand where we live, it helps to know our history and join with other people who care about it. The monthly programs of the Historical Society bring us speakers who explore and interpret the past of our town, region and nation, and bring it to life with facts, stories, graphics and discussion. Speaker programs are the third Wednesday of every month from March to July and September to November, at 7:30 p.m. at the Senior Center at the Atlantic Highlands Marina.
March 17 - Blueberries: New Jersey's Wonder
Blueberries were first cultivated in the New Jersey Pinelands. Learn the history of these fascinating berries, their healthful benefits and the many ways to prepare them from food historian Judith Krall-Russo.
April 21 - Murders Most Foul
Local historian and author John King will tell more murder stories from his forthcoming second book about slayings in our area.
May 19 - "Grunt's" view of the Revolutionary War
A true account of a front=line, 8-year soldier in the Revolutionary War, by Robert Mayers, author of "The War Man". His epic journey provides a travelogue of the entire conflict from Quebec to New Jersey and Yorktown. He had a ringside seat at many of the war's most memorable battles, campaigns and encampments. Often in the presence of Washington, he also marched in tanks with Lafayette, drilled with Von Steuben, was commanded by Benedict Arnold and served with Alexander Hamilton. This was Corporal john Allison and he is an ancestor of our speaker.
