The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Early American Women and Their Kitchen Gardens

<h2 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 7:30 pm.</h2>On March 1st, 1932, Charles Lindbergh Jr, the son of legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, was kidnapped from his bedroom in East Amwell, New Jersey. More than 2 months later, the baby was found dead alongside the road near the Lindbergh home. Police eventually arrested Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German-born carpenter from New York City. Hauptmann&#39;s subsequent trial, dubbed the Trial of the Century, resulted in his conviction and execution. The crime and trial have fascinated historians for the past 90 years. Debate over his guilt and conspiracy theories abounds. I use my law enforcement background to examine the investigation, trial, and analyze the various theories and myths surrounding this fascinating case. &nbsp; About the speaker: James Calaski is a historian, speaker, researcher, writer, and genealogist. <p fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: rgb(232, 240, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;">Any necessary information will be sent to the email you provide.<p fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: rgb(232, 240, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;"><strong fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:transparent;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;font-weight:bold;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; font-weight: bold;">No physical ticket will be required or distributed.<p fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: rgb(232, 240, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;">Museum admission: Members: Free with discount code &ndash;&nbsp;Non-Members:&nbsp;$5 Not sure you&#39;re a member?&nbsp;Contact us at mahwahmuseum@gmail.com to find out.

History of Bergen County Courthouse

<h2 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">Saturday, October 11, 2025, 4:30-6:00 pm.</h2>French forces under Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau entered New Jersey in the early morning hours of 26 August 1781. The inhabitants of Mahwah, like all their fellow citizens of Bergen County, were uneasy about these visitors. Long-time enemies, the French had become America&rsquo;s allies in 1778. But New Jerseyans knew little about the French or how they would behave. Conversely the French soldiers marching into Mahwah knew just as little about what awaited them in New Jersey. This illustrated talk provides examples of Franco-American encounters and mutual impressions of people and their customs, the process of &ldquo;getting to know each other, and the beauty of northern New Jersey, called le Jardin d&rsquo;Am&eacute;rique by French officers.&nbsp; About the speaker: Robert A Selig, Ph.D., has been the consultant and project historian to the National Park Service for the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail Project.&nbsp; <p fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: rgb(232, 240, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;">Any necessary information will be sent to the email you provide.<p fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: rgb(232, 240, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;"><strong fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:transparent;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;font-weight:bold;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; font-weight: bold;">No physical ticket will be required or distributed.<p fr-original-style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: rgb(232, 240, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;">Museum admission: Members:&nbsp;$5 with discount code &ndash;&nbsp;Non-Members:&nbsp;$10 Not sure you&#39;re a member?&nbsp;Contact us at mahwahmuseum@gmail.com to find out.

These towns were highly controlled and included residences, stores, schools, and churches. Employees were even paid in company cash.

Tom will be bringing the guitar and explaining its origins at the Mahwah Museum, Saturday, April 5 at 2:00pm. Tom’s guitar arrives after years of dedicated research to offer new insight into the early development of Les Paul’s namesake and revolutionary electric guitar.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5">About Tom Doyle: Tom Doyle was Les Paul’s personal guitar tech, luthier, co- inventor, soundman, confidant, and “fixer” for 45 years… right up until the time of Les’ passing. Suffice it to say that all that time at the side of “The Master” has given Tom the experience and know how that no one else on the entire planet can possibly have. For 50 years, Tom and Les Paul worked together refining and redefining what an electric guitar could and should sound like… a true labor of love that still lasts till this day.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%">Any necessary information will be sent to the email you provide.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%">No physical ticket will be required or distributed.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;background:rgb(232, 240, 255);border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:none;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.5;width:100%">Museum admission: Members: Free with discount code – Non-Members: $5 Not sure you're a member? Contact us at mahwahmuseum@gmail.com to find out.

Some of the other women who worked out of Hull-House included Florence Kelley, Alice Hamilton, Julia Lathrop, and Grace and Edith Abbott.

It was a modern marvel of luxury and technology, a literal ocean liner in the sky. However on May 6th, 1937, the Hindenburg was engulfed and destroyed in a terrible fire.  Two separate investigations, one US and one by Nazi Germany, failed to concretely determine its cause. Like any good mystery, conspiracy theories abound. Was it sabotage? Was it pilot error? Was it lightning?  Was it a cover-up?
