Sat. Feb 18, 2017 2pm 215 South Middlebush Rd, Somerset, NJ
Tim Cohen, teacher and school historian at Rutgers Preparatory School in Somerset, will discuss the book he has just completed chronicling that school’s 250-year story. His talk will pay particular attention to the ways in which the school’s story has mirrored changes in the larger local community over the years. In keeping with Black History Month, he will discuss Rutgers Prep’s historic relationships with New Jersey’s African American community, including an examination of its founders’ attitudes toward slavery and the school’s pioneering traditions of ethnic and cultural diversity.
This lecture, part of our Fireside Chat series, will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2017 from 2-4pm at the historic Wyckoff-Garretson house, 215 South Middlebush Road, Franklin Township, NJ. The fee for attending is $10 and includes light refreshments. Meadows members in good standing will receive a coupon for $5 off any future Meadows event. You may pay dues or attain membership when you arrive. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Christine Retz at chrisflp@aol.com.
