Event Details
The Forgotten Victory Trail explores one of America's most overlooked Revolutionary War campaigns. Burning towns, secret networks, and fierce local resistance in New Jersey helped turn the tide. The battles of Springfield and Connecticut Farms in June, 1780 were critical in the defense of New Jersey and Washington’s forces (in Morristown), and in the weakening of the British armies ahead of the Battle of Yorktown. Our speaker will be Bob Gula, whose qualifications include Education Officer, West Fields Chapter of Sons of the American Revolution; Patriotic Instructor, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; and Member, General Society of Mayflower Descendants.
The Summit Area Old Guard is a social, educational, and recreational fellowship of active men of retirement age, founded in 1930. We hear presentations most Tuesday mornings in an auditorium in New Providence, and we have many other activities including discussion groups, sports groups, and celebrations. Our dues are minimal, and members volunteer for all aspects of the operation. Our motto is "Come for the programs. Stay for the friends." Guests are always welcome to attend and to learn about our organization.
