SUMMARY:Important Role of Dance in 18th Century Society
DESCRIPTION:When Sue Dupre leads dances for the Patriots’ Week Colonial Ball each year\, she wishes she could tell the dancers much more about 18th century dancing\, especially why the 18th century folks didn’t need a dance caller for their balls and assemblies. Please gather with Sue for this video presentation to learn about the important role of dance in 18th society\, what dances were done and how they were taught\, and tidbits about dancing in the Delaware Valley in the 18th Century. This program is made possible\, in part\, by the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission through funding from the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts\, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts

SUMMARY:Virtual Wreath Laying Trenton Battle Monument with the Sons of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Virtually join Color Guard Units of the Sons of the American Revolution in laying a wreath at the site of the Trenton Battle Monument. This is not a public event. Only virtual. Please zoom register below. \n“The Trenton Battle Monument commemorates the American victory at the first battle of Trenton\, NJ\, which occurred on December 26\, 1776. It is located in an area of the city known as ‘Five Points.’ It was here\, at the intersection of North Broad Street\, Warren Street\, and Brunswick\, Pennington and Princeton Avenue\, that the American artillery was placed. From this vantage point\, the artillery dominated the streets of Trenton\, preventing the Hessian troops from organizing an effective counter attack. \nThe victory at Trenton was a strategic\, as well as a military success. It also served to boost the morale of a dwindling and dispirited Continental Army and to galvanize the resolve of those Americans who still believed in America’s war for independence. The significance of the patriots’ victory at Trenton was not forgotten in the ensuing years. Three years after the battle\, colonial secretary of state for King George III\, Lord Germain\, told Parliament ‘all our hopes were blasted by that unhappy affair at Trenton.’ \nThe TRENTON BATTLE MONUMENT was designed by JOHN H. DUNCAN\, architect of President Grant’s Tomb. It is a triumphal column of granite 148 feet high. Considered to be an early example of the Beaux Arts style\, it is a Roman Doric column with a large base John H. Duncan decorated with acanthus leaves. The capital has a ring of stars crowned by an observation platform with a railing. Above the platform is a circle of 13 electric lights\, representing the 13 original colonies. \nThe column is surmounted by a small round pavilion that features a pedestal with a STATUE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON\, right arm outstretched\, pointing toward the site of his victory. This statue and THE TWO BRONZE STATUES OF CONTINENTAL SOLDIERS that flank the entrance\, were made by WILLIAM O’DONOVAN\, a noted 19th century sculptor of monuments\, busts and bas. Three sides of the William R. O’Donovan monuments base are adorned with cast bronze plaques. \nTWO OF THE PLAQUES were made by THOMAS EAKINS\, an important 19th century painter\, and the third by CHARLES H. NIEHAUS\, a sculptor from New York City. The plaques depict Washington’s army crossing the Delaware River\, the opening of the Battle of Trenton\, and the surrender of the Hessians. In order to preserve these plaques\, the originals have been removed to the state museum and reproductions have been put in their place. A memorial inscription is on the fourth side of the monument.” – New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection – Parks and Forestry \n \n

SUMMARY:Celebrating Hogmanay with Scottish Music 
DESCRIPTION:Via Zoom\, The Trent House Association presents The Practitioners of Musick in a performance honoring the Scottish heritage of William Trent and featuring music that George Washington and his family enjoyed. \nBorn in Inverness\, Scotland\, William Trent immigrated to Philadelphia and established himself as a very successful shipping merchant.  In 1714 he acquired much of the land that now is the city of Trenton and in 1719 built his Georgian style mansion on his plantation there. It is likely that General Washington visited his Deputy Quartermaster General John Cox there and may have been entertained with music. \nWashington’s family – his wife Martha\, her two children\, and her four grandchildren – all studied music. He himself was said to be especially fond of William Shield’s comic opera Rosina\, which was performed in Philadelphia\, the nation’s capital\, during his Presidency. Some of the opera’s melodies drew on Scottish folk songs\, a fact that led some to claim that Shield composed the music for “Auld Lang Syne.” \nJohn Burkhalter and Donovan Klotzbeacher founded the Practitioners of Musick to the research and performance of the musical riches of 18th century Great Britain and the Colonial and Federal periods in America. They have performed and lectured at libraries\, museums\, and historic sites throughout the region and beyond. \n\nZoom Meeting ID: 821 1240 6724 Passcode: ​126299

Drawing on thousands of military records and other primary sources in British\, American\, and Canadian archives\, and the writings of dozens of officers and soldiers\, Noble Volunteers shows how a peacetime army responded to the onset of war\, how professional soldiers adapted quickly and effectively to become tactically dominant\, and what became of the thousands of career soldiers once the war was over.
