This sounds like a really interesting series of lectures: Camden County College and Friends of the Indian King Tavern Museum have teamed up to present a free seven-part lecture series that will give voice to the “Unheard Voices of the American Revolution.”

These lectures -- along with a spirited “debate” between John and Abigail Adams on May 25 — plus author talks, family activities and other events leading up to the Haddonfield Skirmish, start in mid-April and continue until the Skirmish on Saturday, June 3.

The Skirmish brings history books to life with a day of Revolutionary War soldiers, horses, clashes between colonists and redcoats, family friendly programming, music, and important moments from South Jersey and Haddonfield’s history in the founding of the U.S.
