Middletown's Hendrickson Farm: Virtual Archaeology Lecture

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — The Middletown Township Historical Society will host a virtual event July 20 where local archaeologist Kristen Hohn will discuss her lecture, "Salvage Archaeology at the Hendrickson Farm in Middletown."

Her virtual talk will be at 7 p.m. July 20. You must register in advance and can do so here: https://www.MiddletownNJHistory.org

Last May, members of the Middletown Historical Society joined the Archaeological Society of New Jersey and Monmouth University to volunteer at a salvage archaeological survey at the Charles Hendrickson farmstead, just north of the Middletown Village Historic District.

While the 18th century cottage has since been demolished, this presentation focuses on the history that lives on through the cultural material recovered at the site.

Hohn is a historic preservation specialist and archaeologist working for the Monmouth County Park System. Over the past decade she’s performed surveys across the Mid-Atlantic region, specializing in the contact and colonial history of New Jersey and early domestic textile production.
