Colonial Beer Brewing at the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead
Historic Brewer, Rich Wagner, will be on hand to demonstrate Colonial Beer Brewing, at the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. Throughout the afternoon, Mr. Wagner will show the step-by-step process of turning water and grain into beer. For hundreds of years, folks in Europe knew better than to drink the water, as everyone knew water could make you deathly ill. Instead, they brewed and drank beer, including children. So, it was a natural jump for immigrants arriving in the New World to bring their tradition of brewing and drinking beer here. Much of the beer was brewed at home, until breweries could be established in larger towns and cities. Today, there is a resurgence in interest in home brewing. Though today you will find exotic flavors or seasonal brews, the basic method of beer production has not change. at: 908-236-2327 or

WASHINGTON'S SECOND IN COMMAND, MAJOR GENERAL CHARLES LEE - Charles Lee: Patriot, Scapegoat or Traiter by Dominick Mazzagetti
Dominick Mazzagetti presents an engaging account of the life of Charles Lee, the forgotten man of the American Revolution. History has not been kind to Lee – for good reason. In this compelling biography, Mazzagetti compares Lee's life and attributes to those of George Washington and offers significant observations omitted from previous Lee biographies, including extensive correspondence with British officers in 1777 that reflects Lee's abandonment of the Patriots' cause.
Lee, a British officer, a veteran of the French and Indian War, and a critic of King George III, arrived in New York City in 1773 with an ego that knew no bounds and tolerated no rivals. A highly visible and newsworthy personality, he quickly took up the American cause and encouraged rebellion.

($) MEET ABIGAIL ADAMS as Portrayed by Kim Hanley
Abigail Smith Adams was an educated upper class woman whose well-articulated opinions on government, politics and life in general were sought by at least two American presidents: her husband President John Adams, and her son President John Quincy Adams.
She is probably best remembered for her letter asking her husband to “remember the ladies” when enacting new laws. She asked him to limit the power of husbands over their wives by asking husbands to become friends of their wives to protect them, rather than empowering husbands to act as masters over their wives, and thereby continuing to abuse them.
Kim Hanley began interpreting Abigail with American Historical Theater in 1997. She has appeared at the White House Visitors Center, National Archives, National Portrait Gallery, and many institutions.
Cost is $55 per person by April 14th.
Send a check to "Friends of the Red Mill" at:  The Red Mill, 56 Main Street, Clinton New Jersey 08809. For information call Marie 908-735-4101 ext. 100 or visit the
