Club Meadows – Monthly History Discussions

Second Wednesday of every month March – October

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 our August discussion, join us on the 19th at 6:30pm to discuss: “The Forage Wars”

Join us as we explore how the American Revolution was fought and won in the “Breadbasket of the Revolution.” While grand battles dominate the history books, the war’s outcome often hinged on daily survival and agricultural strategy. During the bitter Forage Wars, British forces routinely raided local country sides for grain, livestock, and timber, while Continental forces and local militias fought fiercely to deny them those supplies. Because your properties were active –  working farms during this turbulent era, we will take a close look at the local connection exploring how everyday farmers took up arms as militia members to defend their own fields,
protect their families’ livelihoods, and feed Washington’s army. Discover how the very ground
