THE PETER P. BLANCHARD III LECTURE SERIES
Old Short Hills: An Unknown History
Sunday, July 13
3 p.m. – 5 p.m.
With Dorothy Kelly, Curator of the Millburn-Short Hills Historical Society Museum
While discussions about Short Hills have primarily focused on Stewart Hartshorn and his suburban ideals, the broader history of the town has been largely overlooked. Join our local expert for an illuminating exploration of Old Short Hills, which examines the strategic significance of the area during the Revolutionary Period, its role as a site for burgeoning industry, and its transformation into a coveted residential locale that attracted notable individuals, including Edward Renwick, John Taylor, and Joseph P. Day, early owner of the property known today as Greenwood Gardens.
