Conference Room - Hybrid Meeting

Join the South Brunswick Historical Society to learn how poets and pamphleteers impacted the South Ward during the American Revolution.

As we celebrate National Poetry Month and the 250th Anniversary of our nation's founding, this presentation will highlight the contributions of those who fought for change through the power of prose, poetry, and pamphleteering during the American Revolutionary period. Learn more about figures such as Thomas Paine and others, made famous for their literary ability and commitment to fighting for independence, influencing their audiences with the written word.

We look forward to sharing these stories with you!
