Come join us for New Jersey Center for the Book’s inaugural Literary Event for 2014 at the Newark Public Library on Saturday to launch the 350th celebration year of New Jersey’s literary heritage. Free and open to the public, the day’s events begin at 11:00 am with “350 Years of New Jersey History in Music and Story” presented by musician/storytellers The Mythmakers. This folkloric journey spanning New Jersey's history from the original Lenape people, through the Dutch, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and into the 21st century will be presented through stories and music. Children will delight in tales such as "Lenape Rainbow Crow" and "The Battle of Trenton" and in songs such as "Yankee Doodle," "Free at Last," and Thomas Edison's first recording, "My Name is Mr. Phonograph," accompanied by the banjo, lyre, bodhran, and musical washboard.
Award–winning children's author, Trinka Hakes Noble, will be on hand to talk about her books. Her most recent, The Legend of the Jersey Devil, is a spellbinding tale about the origins of this mythic creature thought to live in the mysterious Pine Barrens. In Ms. Noble's book, The People of Twelve Thousand Winters (2012), ten–year–old Walking Turtle of the Lenni Lenape tribe lives with his family in a small village alongside the Passaic River in the early 1600s before Europeans settled on America's shores.
The Navesink Maritime Heritage Association will provide a summary of their program presented in 2013, "Searching for Land and Religious Freedom in Monmouth County: A Symposium on Land and Sea."
At 2:00 pm, the program will continue with a welcome from State luminaries and guest speaker Elizabeth Del Tufo, President of Newark’s Preservation and Landmarks Committee, and a compilation showcasing the twelve award-winning public library programs selected by New Jersey Center for the Book for 2014, whose individual programs will be celebrated at public libraries across the state throughout the year.
Refreshments will be served and tours will be available of a Special Exhibition at the Newark Public Library commemorating the 350th Anniversary Celebration of the Garden State. The Newark Public Library is located at 5 Washington Street, Newark, NJ. For more information, call 973-733-7784 or visit www.npl.org.

Sunday, January 19 - Tewksbury, Hunterdon County
A History of Inventing in New Jersey: From Thomas Edison to the Ice Cream Cone
Many people are familiar with Edison's "invention factory" in Menlo Park, where he patented the phonograph, the light bulb, and many more innovations. Yet many other ideas have grown in the Garden State, too-New Jerseyans brought sound and music to movies and built the very first drive-in theater. In addition to the first cultivated blueberry, tasty treats like ice cream cones and M&M's® are also Jersey natives. Iconic aspects of American life, like Bubble Wrap®, the boardwalk, the Band-Aid®, and even professional baseball itself started in New Jersey. Life would be a lot harder without the vacuum cleaner, plastic, and air-conditioning, and many other important advances in medicine and surgery were developed here. Join author Linda Barth as she explores groundbreaking, useful, fun, and even silly inventions and their New Jersey roots.
The program and meeting will be held at the Society's Headquarters at 60 Water Street, Mountainville, NJ. This is the first of many lectures and events the society will hold in conjunction with the 300th anniversary of Hunterdon County. The meeting and talk are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Membership in the society is open to anyone interested in the history of Tewksbury Township. The cost is $15 annually for an individual membership or $25 for a family membership. For more information, call 908-832-6734 and leave your name and phone number, e-mail tewksburyhistory@earthlink.net, or visit www.tewksburyhistory.net.

This presentation will cover a little recalled part of our past. During the years of 1777 and 1778, Coryell's Ferry in the truest sense of the words was "The Crossroads of the American Revolution." An important part of south Hunterdon County's inclusion in the Battle of Monmouth was a march across an unknown, untouched section of colonial road located hidden in plain sight. For those who cherish their local history....this presentation promises to rock your world. The program will be held from 1:00 - 3:00 pm at the Phillip L. Pittore Justice Center, 25 South Union Street, Lambertville, NJ.

Often overlooked as a decorative art form, maps are ideal artifacts for exploring New Jersey history. Stories of New Jersey’s social, economic, military, environmental and political history – as well as the state’s role in the history of American transportation – can be told through the visual splendor of the Garden State’s historic maps.
Opening on September 7 and running through February 23, 2014, “Where in the World is New Jersey? Historical Maps of the Garden State” is comprised of nearly 100 maps depicting the colony and state of New Jersey from 1635 through 1950 on display at the New Jersey State Museum.
This unprecedented exhibition provides the visitor with an introductory survey of historical maps depicting the colony and state of New Jersey from 1635 until 1950. The nearly 100 maps on display – most of which are original hand-colored copperplate engravings or chromolithographs – come from the collections of four public institutions – the New Jersey State Museum, State Archives, State Library, and Special Collections and University Archives at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. They were selected for their rarity, their ability to convey aspects of New Jersey history, and their artistic merit – underscoring the dual role of maps as both works of art and utilitarian tools essential to the human experience.
The New Jersey State Museum, located at 205 West State Street in Trenton, NJ is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 am - 4:45 pm. The Museum is closed Mondays and all state holidays. The NJ State Museum has a “suggested” admission fee. For more information, visit www.statemuseum.nj.gov or call the recorded information line at 609-292-6464. On weekends, free parking is available in lots adjacent to and behind the Museum. Please visit www.trentonparking.com for a number of options for parking in downtown Trenton during the week.

Through June 2014 - Morristown, Morris County
"Controversies: The More Things Change..." Exhibit
Currently on display at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is an exhibition about topics that helped shape our world. "Controversies: The More Things Change..." opens new territory for the Museum, presenting challenging subject matter that may not be suitable for casual dinner conversation. This new exhibit explores topics that helped shape our world through local history events which had national significance: medical experimentation, immigration, and the right to die.
"Controversies: The More Things Change..." inspires people to consider, even reconsider, the ways in which they think about these important, frequently debated issues. The exhibit explores local history events which had national significance: the 1833 Antoine LeBlanc murder trial and public execution; the immigration issues of the late nineteenth century as depicted by political cartoonist Thomas Nast, a Morristown resident, and the 1976 Karen Ann Quinlan "right to die" case.
The museum is making a major departure in exhibit presentations with "Controversies." Where most exhibits typically provide detailed information about the objects on view, "Controversies" offers limited information about the objects, essentially forcing personal thought, and inspiring discussion, about the areas represented. Each object and concept in the exhibit represents a part of New Jersey's history - specifically Morris County's history. The ideas expressed through the historical objects in the exhibit, however, are not confined to New Jersey boundaries- the significant concerns raised by the important and controversial issues showcased in this exhibit continue to be debated throughout the United States and the world.
"We wanted to give our visitors a chance to participate in an exhibit in a new way - to have a reaction without being guided by the institution's interpretation of what the objects represent, which labels typically provide," said Executive Director Carrie Fellows. Instead, curator's books of supplementary information will be available within the exhibit, should the visitor want to learn more, drawn from primary sources like news articles, contemporary commentary, and images. Visitors are encouraged to leave comments about the themes presented.
The exhibition was inspired when Fellows and Ryan C. Hyman, the Museum's curator, heard Burt Logan, Executive Director of the Ohio Historical Society speak at a conference about the organization's groundbreaking "Controversy: Pieces You Don't Normally See" exhibit, and its sequel, "Controversy 2: Pieces We Don't Normally Talk About". During his talk, Mr. Logan strongly encouraged other museums to adapt the concept and develop similar exhibits. Inspired by the presentation, Hyman and Fellows began discussing how they might create an exhibit using themes from the Morris area's rich history.
"Controversies: The More Things Change..." will be on view during Museum touring hours through June 2014. Please note the subject matter may not be suitable for all audiences. Visitor discretion advised. Recommended for visitors 12 years of age and older.
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum preserves the history of the Macculloch-Miller families, the Morris area community, and the legacy of its founder W. Parsons Todd through its historic site, collections, exhibits, and educational and cultural programs. The Museum is open for house and exhibit tours on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. The last tour leaves at 3:00 pm. Adults $8; Seniors & Students $6; Children 6 - 12 $4. Members and children under 5 are free. For more information, call 973-538-2404 ext. 10 or visit www.maccullochhall.org.
