Celebrate New Jersey
It’s more than just the shore!

Sunday, February 26th, 2:00 pm
Van Horne House, 941 East Main St., Bridgewater,
NJ 08807

Join Linda Barth on a photographic expedition of New Jersey’s
diverse geography - its highlands, rivers, and seashore.
From High Point to Cape May, from the Pine Barrens to the
Watchung Mountains, and from the Lower Delaware to the
Jersey shore, she will explore the Garden State’s history,
culture, nature, and industry.

Discover the famous, and not-so-famous, people, places,
and events that make New Jersey a great place to live.

This is a perfect opportunity to instill in the next generation
of New Jersey citizens the pride of living in this wonderful
state with all its rich history and diverse culture.



The event will also serve as a launch for her new book,
Hidden New Jersey, a book for young and old.
The double-page spreads are packed with colorful
illustrations of New Jersey's people, places, inventions,
and attractions. Readers are encouraged to explore a
little more and find hidden pictures in each illustration.
