The American Revolution at Liberty Hall

As the nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, discover the remarkable story of one of New Jersey's most important Revolutionary sites. What really happened at Liberty Hall during the war? Where did the Livingston family seek refuge when British forces occupied New Jersey? How did William Livingston's children contribute to the Patriot cause? And was John Lawrence Livingston truly lost at sea?

Through fascinating stories, historic letters, documents, and images, this engaging presentation brings to life the experiences of one of New Jersey's most influential families during America's fight for independence. Learn how Liberty Hall served as the home of William Livingston, New Jersey's first elected governor, whose leadership helped guide the state through the Revolution and into nationhood.

Presented by Liberty Hall Museum in Union, New Jersey, this illustrated talk explores the pivotal role the historic estate played in shaping both New Jersey and the emerging United States. Originally a 14-room Georgian home, Liberty Hall evolved into a 50-room Victorian mansion and remains a lasting symbol of the state's rich political, cultural, and Revolutionary heritage.
