Union Township Historical Society June event
Hannah Caldwell Day will be commemorated by the Union Township Historical Society at the Caldwell Parsonage, 909 Caldwell Avenue, Union, on Sunday, June 7, from 2 to 5 p.m. Rev. James Caldwell, portrayed by Doc Burkhardt, will greet visitors. He’ll recall the heroism of his wife during the American Revolution, following the Battle of Connecticut Farms on that fateful day–June 7, 1780.
Observance of current social-distancing guidelines will make this a historic first for the Union Township Historical Society, which was founded in 1957. An individual or couple or family may enter the museum one at a time and take a self-guided tour for ten minutes. Gloves will be provided, but guests are requested to bring and wear their own masks.
The UTHS was required to cancel tours in March and programs in April and May. Each of those would have produced much needed revenue for the centuries-old house. It’s hoped that members of the community would consider an in-person contribution or an on-line donation at unionnjhistory.org. For more information, please call 908-591-4377.
