George Washington, New Jersey and the Revolutionary War

New Jersey has 564 municipalities. In contrast, California has 483. Why does New Jersey have so many independent towns and subsequently so many municipal governments? Join historian and archivist Mickey DiCamillo as he explains why New Jersey has divided itself, divided itself again, and almost always refuses to erase its municipal boundaries. Does this subdivision of the state make New Jersey better or worse off? We will discover that the debate is quintessentially American and as old as Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hosted by Mickie DiCamillo Sponsored by the Friends of the Madison Public Library

At nine feet tall, this impressive portrait of the sixteenth president has been praised by those who knew him as more lifelike than any other. Exhibited at the US Capitol, the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and the Union League Club in New York, among other important places, this portrait eventually found a home in the Hartley Dodge Memorial in Madison, NJ. Mallory will share her first-hand account of researching this painting and the stories she uncovered as she leads the audience through this painting’s fascinating provenance. This portrait is currently on loan to the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. Sponsored by the Friends of the Madison Public Library

Myths and legends often have some kernel of historical truth. So, what can we make of the Jersey Devil myth? Is any part of the tale rooted in fact? Historian and archivist Mickey DiCamillo discusses the origins of Jersey's most famous mythological monster and identifies the real-life creatures (some human...some beast) that inspired the story that lives on today. From dinosaurs to witches to Benjamin Franklin…a lot goes into making a myth.
