The Washington Crossing Park Association will present “Digging New Jersey: Colonial and Revolutionary War Archaeology,” on Sunday, September 25 at the Union Fire Company hall, River Road in Titusville from 2-5:30 p.m.

Richard Veit, Chair of the history and anthropology department at Monmouth University, will discuss his archaeological explorations at Sandy Hook this summer. His talk, titled “Searching for the ‘Lighthouse Fort and the Refugee Town’ on Sandy Hook: A Story of Archaeological Research,” will provide background on his findings. 

Richard Hunter, president of Trenton-based Hunter Research, will follow up with a presentation on “30 Years of Archaeology at Revolutionary War Period Sites in Mercer County.” Moderating the program will be Larry Kidder, a noted local historian, who will also coordinate a question and answer session.

An exhibit area highlighting historic books and displays will be open throughout the program. Refreshments will also be available. At the end of the program, the association will draw the winners of its first Revolutionary War Artwork Raffle to benefit the Johnson Ferry House.

Pre-register at www.wcpa-NJ.org or by emailing Bill Marsch at wrmarsch@optimum.net. A $10 donation will be requested, but members of the Association will be invited as a benefit of membership.
