Long Hill Township Historical Society Meeting

The next Long Hill Township Historical Society meeting will be September 7, 2017 at 7:30pm. Meetings are held at the Long Hill Township First Aid Squad located at 949 Valley Road, Gillette. The Castles of New Jersey by Phil E. Jaegar will be discussed.
Although not as numerous or grand as their European counterparts, a surprisingly large number of castles were built in New Jersey a century or more ago. This program will take you on a tour of well-known castles such as Lambert and Kip’s castles as well as lesser known ones throughout the state. Many of them still exist, some have been disguised over the years, and others have vanished.
Phil Jaeger, a resident of Cedar Grove, is a former mathematics and computer science teacher. He is the author of books on Montclair and Cedar Grove, both in Arcadia’s Images of America series. Phil is a former board member of the Canal Society of New Jersey and the Passaic County Historical Society. He and his wife Jean are frequent presenters of programs of local historical interest.
This program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
