Just in time for Halloween, venture into the darker side of New Jersey history with historian and paranormal investigator Greg Caggiano. From haunted mansions and Revolutionary War-era homes to eerie cemeteries and legendary folklore, discover the ghostly tales that have lingered for centuries.
Drawing on years of paranormal investigations at some of the Garden State's most historic locations—including two museums where he served on the board—Greg explores the stories behind a Royal Governor's former residence, a Victorian mansion, a house with Revolutionary War notoriety, and a notoriously creepy cemetery. And no Halloween program would be complete without a visit from New Jersey's most famous legend: the Jersey Devil. Blending history, mystery, and local folklore, this spine-tingling presentation is sure to get you in the Halloween spirit.
Greg Caggiano is a published author, historian, lecturer, and consultant. His investigations of haunted sites, historic cemeteries, and other spooky locations are featured on his web series, Ghosts on the Coast, available on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
This program is being presented virtually over Zoom.&nbsp; Registration is required and the Zoom link will be emailed the day before the event.

Maxfield Parrish was one of the most popular and commercially successful artists of his day, his illustrations often gracing the covers and pages of well-known magazines like Harper’s and Collier’s. His ethereal figures inhabiting dreamlike, Neoclassical settings were practically ubiquitous in early 20th-century America. It was estimated that one out of every four homes in the United States had a print of his famous Daybreak in the 1920s.

Mallory Mortillaro, our speaker, spent a portion of her childhood living in the sleepy New England town, Parrish loved and drew inspiration from. In this program she examines the life and work of the renowned artist and his enduring impact on American culture.

Mallory is an art historian and educator. As a researcher, she consults for private collectors, museums, and organizations in the New York metropolitan area, with a primary focus on provenance research. Her discoveries in the art world have garnered her international attention. A popular lecturer, she has presented more than 400 art history lectures to audiences around the country. She studied at Drew University and resides in New Jersey.

This program is made possible with the support of The Friends of the Livingston Public Library.

Heritage Middle School

Season Of Celebration with the Livingston Symphony Orchestra
The Livingston Symphony Orchestra’s &nbsp; 2026-2027 Season programming celebrates through music, history and spirit two extraordinary milestones: America’s 250th anniversary and also the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death. You are invited to join Maestro Anthony LaGruth and the talented musicians` of the non-profit Livingston Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, October 24 at 7:30 pm for an exciting opening concert, “The Sounds of Freedom,” at Heritage Middle School, 20 Foxcroft Drive, Livingston.
This live performance kicks off with John Williams’ energetic, slightly off kilter “March from 1941,” &nbsp;from Stephen Spielberg’s 1979 film of the same name. Next, audience members can listen to American composer Charles Ives as &nbsp;he interprets` the meaning of life in the atmospheric “The Unanswered Question.” &nbsp;Amongst his most widely performed overtures, Beethoven’s “Leonore No. 3,” follows, encapsulating the themes from his only opera, “Fidelio,” and echoing the composer’s treasured values of heroism and freedom. &nbsp;The concert is capped off by what is considered by many to be Dvorak’s finest Symphony, his No.7 in D minor. &nbsp; Written during a time of political and ethnic strife and deep personal loss, this work is infused with such passion, grief and patriotism that it is a deeply emotional experience &nbsp;for both musicians and audience members to share.
Tickets for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of fine live music “close to home” can be purchased on the Livingston Symphony Orchestra’s website or at the door on October 24. Seniors and students can take advantage of ticket discounts, and children under 12 accompanied by an adult are welcome free of charge. Season ticket discounts are also available on the orchestra’s website, &nbsp;<a href="https://www.lsonj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.lsonj.org</a>. For additional information, please call (973)980-1809.
