Making a Plan - Preserving Our Heritage
On Wednesday, May 7 the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association is launching the two to three year management planning process for New Jersey’s National Heritage Area. As a model, the Association has created a Pilot Project area that includes 14 Heritage Area towns in southern Morris and northern Somerset Counties. This planning process will bring together professional historians, history buffs, environmentalists, governing officials, educators and the interested public. By participating in this Pilot Planning Project, you will have the first input and lead the state of New Jersey in this collaborative effort. more...(PDF)
