Enjoy breakfast and then hear a lively presentation by David Lang, founder of the Middlebrook Theatrical Society, (MTS). Learn the background and gain insight to the Battle of Bound Brook before heading over to witness the reenactment! Be a person ‘in the know’ and bring the battle more into perspective as a battle that is just as important to the war effort as Trenton and Princeton were!
Hear Ye, Hear Ye,
“In this year of our Lord, 1779, His Excellency General Washington, upon hearing that Master Wm. Turner of Middlebrook, a guest of Philip and Elizabeth Van Horne, was to retell his eyewitness account of the Battle of Bound Brook; General Washington changed his plans and WILL break his fast with the Van Horne’s and their guests this day.”
