D&R Canal videos to be featured at Kingston Historical Society meeting
Tuesday, June 7th, 2016, 7:30PM at the Kingston Firehouse, 6 Heathcote Road, Kingston
After some background on the D&R Canal and its past and present importance to Kingston, KHS president Robert von Zumbusch will lead us through two videos: one “D&R” produced and directed by Cliff Crawford in 1976 -- before the Canal Park was established; the video includes historical footage and interviews with ‘canalers.’ The other, ‘The Canals of New Jersey” produced by the Canal Society of New Jersey, provides a comparison with New Jersey’s other navigational canal, the unique Morris Canal, which was very different from the D&R.
As an architect at the firm CUH2A Robert had principal responsibility for the D&R Canal Historic and Recreational Development Plan, which became one of the five Master Plan documents of the D&R Canal Commission; he is currently a member of the D&RCC Master Plan Advisory Committee.
The meeting is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served. Additional information is available at http://www.khsnj.org/ or call (609) 223-3877.
