On October 30, several members of the Old Barracks staff will be presenting at the New Jersey History Conference. This year’s theme, “Revolutionary Legacy” will explore the American Revolution in New Jersey, its impact throughout the past 250 years, and how the history field can capitalize on the momentum of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
At 10:30 – 11:45 am during the “Tools of Resistance” session, Lead Interpreter Miriam Morton will present her paper “Revolutionary Response in Print: Adam’s Fight for Freedom in Newspapers and Court.”
At 2:30 – 3:45 pm during the “New Perspectives on Known Stories” session, Historical Interpreter James Domalewski will present his paper “’It must appear very strange that a Brigade of these troops should be forced to give themselves up:’ An Examination of the Hessian Enquiry Regarding Their Loss at the Battle of Trenton.”
Also at 2:30 – 3:45 pm Assistant Director of Interpretation & Curation Mark A. Turdo, along with colleagues from Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA), Washington Crossing State Park (NJ), and Princeton Battlefield State Park, will be part of the panel discussion “Creating a ‘Grand’ 250th Event” discussing how we developed the the 250th anniversary reenactment event of the “Ten Crucial Days” for December 2026.
