The Washington Crossing Park Association announces its third historic educational program, “Digging New Jersey: Colonial and Revolutionary War Archaeology” on Sunday, September 25 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. at the Union Fire Company Hall, located on River Road in Titusville. 

Featured speakers include Dr. Richard Veit, chair of the history and anthropology department at Monmouth University. His talk, titled “Searching for the Lighthouse Fort and Refugee Town on Sandy Hook,” will provide background on his recent archaeological explorations at Sandy Hook.

Richard Hunter, president of Hunter Research (a Trenton-based historic preservation consulting firm) 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.

In addition to the presentation, an exhibit highlighting historic books and displays will be open throughout the program. At the end of the presentation, The Washington Crossing Park Association will draw the winners of its first Revolutionary War Artwork Raffle to benefit the Johnson Ferry House.

All attendees must pre-register online at www.wcpa-NJ.org or by emailing Bill Marsch at wrmarsch@optimum.net. A $10 donation will be requested (free of charge for members of the Association).
