Last week, the Middletown Township Public Library (MTPL) hosted the final meeting of its “Community Read America 250” series.

Led by Sand Hill Indian Historical Association Director Claire Garland, alongside MTPL Director Kate Hammond and local historians, each of the four sessions explored chapters of the book 1776, written by David McCullough, and were held at either the library or Revolutionary-era historic sites.

The final meeting was held at the Taylor-Butler House and wrapped up with some refreshments and King George’s iced tea, as well as a tour of the Monmouth County Historical Association’s “Beneath the Floorboards” exhibit at Marlpit Hall.

In addition to discussing the book, the series also highlighted the American Revolution and the effect it had on communities, soldiers, people of color, Native Americans, African Americans, and women. 📚🇺🇸

In our fourth episode of Revolutionary Reflections, historian Rick Geffken tells the remarkable story of Colonel Tye, a formerly enslaved man who became one of the most prominent Black Loyalist leaders during the Revolutionary War.

After escaping bo***ge, he joined the British cause and led the Black Brigade in a series of raids across Monmouth County.

Colonel Tye’s story reminds us that the Revolution was not only a fight for our nation’s independence, but also a struggle for personal freedom.
