SUMMARY:Colonial Taverns of New Jersey at the Mendham Township Library
DESCRIPTION:\nOn Monday, May 11th at 1pm, join author, Michael Gabriele as he presents Colonial Taverns of New Jersey at the Mendham Township Library.\nJoin Michael Gabriele as he explores the important role the taverns of New Jersey played throughout the War for Independence. New Jersey was the “Crossroads of the American Revolution,” and as battles raged, colonial taverns formed the social network that held the state together. Taverns were the stage for the unfolding drama of a colony transitioning into statehood and making decisions about declaring a war of independence. Taverns were the places where the voices of history took shape, used as recruitment stations for colonial militias and meeting places for local committees of safety. George Washington used taverns as headquarters, where he drafted his many letters and planned strategy with his generals. They were the “seedbeds” for the revolution, strongholds for political activities, beacons for travelers, and venues for entertainment, merriment, and libations.\n\nAbout Michael Gabriele:\n\nA lifelong Garden State resident, Michael is a 1975 graduate of Montclair State University and has worked as a journalist, freelance writer and author for more than forty years. Michael is a member of the board of trustees for the New Jersey Folk Festival at Rutgers University, a member of the executive boards for the Allied Artists of America, New York, the Nutley Historical Society, the Theater League of Clifton, and serves on the advisory board of the Clifton Arts Center.\nSpace is limited.
