Featured Patriots' Week Event - Ned Hector Dramatization
Professional historical interpreter Noah Lewis renders a lively and informative dramatization of a black New Jersey colonial soldier and hero, Ned Hector. Audience participation made it a fun time for all. In this photo he is instructing his newly recruited audience volunteers in the fine points of manning an artillery battery which was one of the positions the historic Ned Hector held in the Continental Army. See more of the action on our website or check the schedule of events and join the celebration.
