African Americans have a rich history in central New Jersey, although these stories have rarely been told. A new museum on preserved land on nearby Sourland Mountain is working to change that.
In honor of Black History Month, join us for short films and discussion with two founders of the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum, Elaine Buck and Beverly Mills, and Linda Mead, CEO of the D&R Greenway Land Trust.
Learn how our region’s natural landscape played a role in creating history – from the Delaware River as a roadway for slaves who became freed men to the African Americans who played a crucial role in the Revolutionary Crossing of the Delaware River.
