THE HISTORY OF THE VILLAGE OF READINGTON
Readington Village is located on Holland Brook, originally named Amanmechunk, which means large creek in the Unami Dialet. Readington was first settled by Europeans in the early 18th century by Dutch and English immigrants. In 1738, the Dutch Reformed Church of North Branch was moved west to Readington Village because of the growing population.
During the 19th century, Readington Village had a church, a mill, a store, a school and a tavern. The mill in Readington Village continued to run until about 1920 and was still standing until 1935.
Join County Historian, Readington Township Historian Emerita and author, Stephanie Stevens who has done extensive research on this subject. Readington Museums has graciously offered to host this talk making it even more special on the Summer Solstice!

EAST AMWELL TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM PRESENTS FIBER ART EXHIBIT BY MARY SCHWARZENBERGER
June 22 to July 7th Saturdays and Sundays
1am to 4pm
Mary grew up in a household where her mother and grandmother sewed, so she began playing with fabric from an early age.
After a career in education, she was able to follow her dream of creating art full-time.
When Mary isn’t sewing, she is dyeing vintage lace and linens, creating her own fabric, or working in mixed media. Several years of the pieces in this show reflect the ocean. Its effect on all the senses instills calm and exhilaration simultaneously.
More recently Mary has been exploring spirals as part of a continuing exploration of creating texture with fabric and color. Her work has been juried into national shows, her wearable art jackets have won national awards and toured the U.S.

RED MILL MUSEUM SUMMER YOUTH NATURE PROGRAM
This is the perfect program for kids who love to explore and play outside in the dirt! Our beautiful grounds along the South Branch of the Raritan River are the ideal spot for children to learn to observe and form conclusions about nature and the creatures in their world. Children will make their own journal for recording what they learn and try their hand at an archeology dig. By the end of the week each child will know about insects, the food chain, camouflage, pollution, the importance of recycling and more!

STARS AND STRIPES: Fabric of the American Spirit
The Lebanon Township Museum is extremely honored to be hosting an exhibit entitled "The Stars and Stripes: Fabric of the American Spirit" from June 13th to July 13th.
From its birth on June 14th, 1777 until 1912, no laws were enacted governing the arrangement of stars on the American flag, leaving their placement to the sole discretion of the flag maker. Flags from before 1912 with varying designs and configurations of stars will be on display as part of this exhibit. Others include handwritten inscriptions and stamped overprints. Together they trace the evolution of the American flag and bring to life the personal and historical accounts that speak to the character of our nation and provide a link to important events of the past.
EXHIBIT HOURS: Tuesdays 9am-3:30pm
Thursdays 1pm-3pm
Saturdays 11am-4:30pm

EAST AMWELL TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM PRESENTS FIBER ART EXHIBIT BY MARY SCHWARZENBERGER
June 22 to July 7th Saturdays and Sundays
1am to 4pm
Mary grew up in a household where her mother and grandmother sewed, so she began playing with fabric from an early age.
After a career in education, she was able to follow her dream of creating art full-time.
When Mary isn’t sewing, she is dyeing vintage lace and linens, creating her own fabric, or working in mixed media. Several years of the pieces in this show reflect the ocean. Its effect on all the senses instills calm and exhilaration simultaneously.
More recently Mary has been exploring spirals as part of a continuing exploration of creating texture with fabric and color. Her work has been juried into national shows, her wearable art jackets have won national awards and toured the U.S.
