Club Meadows – Monthly History Discussions

Second Wednesday of every month March – November

Meet at the Wyckoff-Garretson House located at 215 South Middlebush Road                from 6:30pm-8:30pm

This is not a presenter/audience-type event – it is a casual, friendly, unstructured meetup for folks who enjoy discussion various historic topics.  The subject matter is decided by YOU.  A book, an artifact, an idea, a movie, a myth or legend, a personal experience – whatever you wish to talk about is fair game.  Have you always wanted to know about a particular place or event?  Ask the other people in attendance, they might know!  No need to dress up, bring something to eat or drink if you like, come late or leave early – it’s all good!  There is no age limit, but minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Club Meadows is hosted by The Meadows Foundation and is open to all.

Light refreshments and beverages are provided. There is no cost and it is open to the public. You do not need to be a member of the Meadows Foundation to attend, though joining (for as low as $10-$20 a year) does help fund programs like these so you should think about it!

If you have any questions or would like to suggest a topic – email us at info@themeadowsfoundation.org or reach us at (732)328-9195 (text or call)

For the next discussion we are meeting on March 11th to discuss: Simcoe’s Raid!

Before he was the Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe was a British Colonel leading a daring, chaotic raid right through our backyard. Join us this March as we revisit the night of October 26, 1779, when the “Queen’s Rangers” donned green coats to deceive the locals. From the burning of the Dutch Reformed Church to the dramatic ambush at New Brunswick, come hear the story of the raid that shook Somerset County.
