AS TOLD THROUGH THE ART OF QUILTING
Using quilts from her own quilts and slides from the Liberty Hall collection, Quilter and Museum Educator Audena Cowin will discuss women’s history as told through the American art form of quilting and will demonstrate basic quilting techniques.

LADIES OF LIBERTY HALL
From Susan Livingston, daughter of Governor Livingston, whose daring exploits saved Liberty Hall from the British during the Revolutionary War, to Mary Alice Kean who worked tirelessly for the preservation of our historic structures, Livingston and Kean women have played an important role in the history of our community. This lively talk describes two hundred years of contributions by the Ladies of Liberty Hall.

GARDENS OF LIBERTY HALL
Liberty Hall Museum’s 23 beautifully landscaped acres, which were designed so that plants are blooming from April to first frost, are evidence of a more than 200-year-old tradition of the Livingston/Kean family that began with Governor Livingston. This speech, which includes a video presentation, interweaves the history of the gardens with the life and times of the remarkable people who lived at Liberty Hall.

JEWS IN JERSEY
What do Philip Roth, Benjamin Bernanke and Jerry Lewis have in common? They all share the same Jewish heritage and all are native New Jerseyans. Museum Educator Sid Frank will discuss the contributions of Jewish New Jerseyans in such diverse areas as sports, politics, law, science, literature and entertainment.

Liberty Hall has witnessed two hundred years of history and has lots of stories to tell. If you have a particular interest, we would gladly tailor a talk for you.
