Presented by John Allen, Historical Preservationist and EAHS Committee Member
Doors open at 6:45pm, Presentation starts at 7:00pm
David Munn’s bicentennial publication “Battles and Skirmishes of The American Revolution in New Jersey” was “history mapped” using Google Earth, a free geographic software program. Each conflict event has been located (to the extent possible). The program then provides links to external websites which provide the user with access to additional content explaining key events, locating sites which include markers and/or monuments, and an understanding of troop movement. John Allen’s presentation brings a fresh historical perspective on the ebb and flow of military events in the 1774 – 1783 timeframe in Hunterdon County and Statewide. The demonstration includes ‘how to’ download and use the software, and getting the most from the files that have been created.
