The Hermitage History Roundtable will meet on Wednesday, April 28 at 7:30 pm at the Hermitage (335 North Franklin Turnpike, Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ 07423). The topic will be: Peter Hasenclever's Writings About America. Hans P. Niederstrasser, board member of the Friends of The Long Pond Ironworks,will share and discuss some of Peter Hasenclever's letters describing the colonial America he encountered when he came here in the 18th century. Hasenclever established several ironworks in the Provinces of New Jersey and New York (in the area now Passaic and Rockland Counties). His interesting collection of writings includes references to interviews with British Ministers recommending treating the colonies differently so as not to risk losing them. All are welcome. Admission is free.
