Proceeds from this event will support the restoration of the Old Newton Academy and the Tully House, two significant landmarks that reflect Sussex County’s rich history.
I have been asked...just what is the American 250 project....here is a brief summary:
I have been asked to post the alphabetical list of Revolutionary War Veterans and Patriots resting in Sussex County, NJ (this is for existing Sussex County - does not include Warren) that goes with the America 250! Chinkchewunska project.![]()
Here you are....
I had the pleasure of working with fellow Chinkchewunska DAR chapter member AND Sussex County Historical Society Trustee, Lisa Permunian, this afternoon. We put together a display at the Sussex Branch of the County Library to honor America 250! Stop by and check it out....one of the binders of the 124 Revolutionary War Veterans and Patriots resting in Sussex County is there for you to look through - it is 90% completed....maybe one of your ancestors is there.
