Proposed Schedule of Events for the week of June 21-28, 2003
There will be four groups of celebrations in June/July 2003:
Celebration of the Continental Army's March Across New Jersey
Celebration of the British Army/Loyalist March Across New Jersey
Reenactment of the Battle of Monmouth (two days this time!)
Celebration of The British Evacuation via Sandy Hook, and the American
Celebration of the Nation's second birthday at New Brunswick
(The list below deals with the first of these only. Stay tuned
for information on the other events.)
The goal is to provide the communities along the route with times for
celebration. It may also form the basis for a "walk across New Jersey"
to celebrate our heritage. They are fairly close to the actual date
anniversaries, except Hopewell, which is the Sunday before the actual date,
and Montgomery, which was mostly unpopulated at the time (but is very different
today!)
