SATURDAY, MAY 16TH:  RAISING OF THE LIBERTY POLE IN (1776) TEWKSBURY TOWNSHIP:  In 1776, Tewksbury Township was comprised of a territory that included the modern Tewksbury Township plus Califon Borough.  In 2026, they will be raising a Liberty Pole — a secret marker known to Patriots as a safe place to talk about the Revolution — at the Tewksbury Ballfields (behind the Library) where they will be joined by some elected officials of those municipalities.  Join them for an event full of patriotism: Colonial re-enactors, music, merriment, and cake! A free, family friendly, fun, and educational outdoor celebration of America’s 250th. HUZZAH!

Rain or shine.  1 pm. Free.  No reservations required.
