Create a Fresh Herb Wreath

September 19, 2010, 1:00 - 4:00 PM

Make your own fragrant wreath from herbs you’ll clip fresh from the Maplewood Garden Club’s Herb Garden that graces the grounds behind Durand-Hedden. Garden Club volunteer Liz Demkin will tell you all about the herbs you select and show you how to easily accomplish this delightfully fun project. Bring clippers or scissors. We supply the rest.

The Forgotten Victory: The Battle of Springfield of 1780

Come to the Durand-Hedden House on Sunday, Oct. 17 to learn about the critical Revolutionary War battle of 1780 that was fought just down the road from here, in Vauxhall, the Short Hills, Springfield and Connecticut Farms (Union).

Historian John Kieser will bring to life this often-overlooked conflict, in which the New Jersey militia held off the British and prevented them from getting to Washington’s troops in Morristown.

House and Country Store open 1:00 to 4:00 pm

Presentation at 2:00 pm

Proof of vaccination and masks required.
