This new exhibit uses the studies as a starting point for showcasing the Town­ship’s first people: the Lenape and their ancestors who hunted and fished here for millenia—and the early European settlers linked to the site whose stories illustrate 18th and 19th century life in the region.   Please join us for light refreshments and a look at the new exhibit.
