Castles of New Jersey
On Monday, May 16th, at 7:00 P.M., the Springfield Free Public Library will host Phil Jaeger as he presents a program on the Castles of New Jersey. Although not as numerous or grand as their European counterparts, a surprisingly large number of castles were built in New Jersey a century or more ago. This Power Point presentation and lecture will guide you through the history of relatively well-known castles, such as Lambert Castle and Kip’s Castle, as well as lesser known ones throughout the Garden State.
