A History of People and the Great Swamp – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Join historian Pat Wells for a lively history of Morris County’s remarkable Great Swamp. She will take us from the time when ancient Lake Passaic drained away to leave a swampy remnant through our current times. We will learn how humans have interacted with and affected the Swamp and the living things within it by using it, abusing it, trying to obliterate it, and finally saving it.

Presenter: Chatham resident Patricia Wells of "History Is Speaking" is an educator, historian, and storyteller focused on sharing history through engaging, often overlooked narratives.
