Reception for Colonial Morristown Photos Today

Historic Morristown presents Photographs by Judi Benvenuti and Pam
Hasegawa enlarged on watercolor and metallic fine art papers. They 
are on view through the summer at Sandrian Camera Shop, 72 South St. 

Benvenuti’s images portray Colonial Morristown, which, while never a battlefield, was occupied by militia or regular troops for eight years. These images, along with numerous others, fill the pages of Morristown: The War Years 1775-1783, by author Mary Ann Cataldo and  photographer Benvenuti, published by Eastern National Park and Monument Association, according to the Patch Event Listing.

They will welcome visitors at two receptions today from noon - 2 p.m. and 5 - 7 p.m.
