#RockSolidHistory from The College of New Jersey in Ewing! Housed in the Social Sciences building, this archaeology display case from the William Green Farmhouse on campus has some amazing artifacts! I'm still scratching my head about two boots found that are approximately 220 years old and how they did not decay!!! One shoe is so intact, they can clearly see repair work done 2 centuries ago. I could go on & on about how environments help preserve things (bog bodies, anyone?), but this normal, dry land is not a place I would have expected that. Amazing! #ArchaeologyisAmazing #HistoryDetective #NJhistoryforkids #childrensauthorNJ #TCNJhistory #Ewinghistory #GardenStateHistory #Historyiseverywhere  #RockSolidHistory from Van Vleck Gardens in Montclair, NJ again! This butterfly garden, illustrated in not only the plants but the stonework too, was made possible by a donation by the estate of Mark Landrum. He understood the importance of these delicate pollinators with local wildlife! I will need to go back in the spring to see the flowers blooming. You should too! #VanVleckGardens #MontclairNJhistory #GardenStatehistory #NJhistoryforkids #GetOutdoorsNJ  #RockSolidHistory from Van Vleck House & Gardens in Monclair, NJ! This once grand estate is lovingly cultivated with plantings like the Van Vleck family's as well as new inspirations. There is a fairy trail right now, and recent re-imaginings of scarecrows by local boy and girl scouts. Would use rocks (clay pots) to build yours or something else...? #VanVleckGardens #MontclairNJhistory #GardenStatehistory #NJhistoryforkids #GetOutdoorsNJ  Dear Readers, as the holiday season gets underway, please consider supporting small businesses and independent authors. I chose to publish independently after good advice from a book agent. My topic and focus were specific and not for a mass audience, but still worthy. "A Rock Solid History of Hawthorne, New Jersey" is a book that ignites the natural curiosity of children, teaching history in a fun way - through rocks - that can be seen and explored n person, if you so choose. It is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Solid-History-Hawthorne-Jersey/dp/0692097104) or at these local stores: ✅ The Curious Reader, Glen Rock, NJ ✅ Colour and Whim, Hawthorne, NJ ✅ Bookends, Ridgewood, NJ Thank you! ❤ #shoplocalNJ #NJindieauthor #NJindieauthors #NJindiebookstores #RockSolidHistory #stockingstufferNJ #Hawthornehistory #NJhistory #GardenStateGifts  |
