The weather looks great for this Saturday's event!

Come celebrate the birth of David Brearley—American Founding Father and signer of the Constitution—by participating in a fun run (or walk!) on Saturday, June 6th.

This scenic, out-and-back 5K course begins at the Brearley House (built in 1761), and follows the Delaware & Raritan Canal to the Port Mercer Canal House (built in the 1830s).

What can sixty images reveal about three centuries of community life? In 2014 the Lawrence Historical Society installed a timeline mural in the Lawrence Township Municipal Building, tracing 300 years of local history. The mural presents 60 carefully chosen images marking important moments in the township’s story, from the late seventeenth century through the end of the twentieth.

Please join Dennis Waters -- the catalyst behind the mural's construction -- on May 12th as he gives a virtual tour.
