Join West Orange Township Historian Joseph Fagan as he unearths the many stories forgotten by time at the Old Burying Ground in nearby Orange. Here weathered gravestones and forgotten burial plots reveal the many stories of West Orange’s first settlers.
Join Joseph Fagan as he steps through an undisturbed portal in time where Revolutionary War patriots, local families, and ordinary citizens still bear silent witness to history. Discover the stories of the people whose lives, sacrifices, and experiences helped shape both our local community and the nation.
Presented as part of the commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, this program is the second in a series by Joseph Fagan supporting Rev250 NJ, a statewide initiative that explores the unique Revolutionary War history of communities across New Jersey. Join us for an engaging journey into the people, events, and stories that helped define our nation and continue to shape our local heritage today.
