"Stories That Shaped the Lives of our Ancestors"
The Sunday, Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers’ Market offers a trio of events planned to entertain, educate, and engage.
Historic Preservationist Consultant Carla Cielo will share intriguing tales culled from her two decades researching and interviewing in her special presentation "Stories That Shaped the Lives of our Ancestors" to be held in the Dvoor Farmhouse at 11:00 am. The program is free.
She’ll tell attendees, for instance, about:
* How a poor Italian girl -- who as a baby was sent away to a wet nurse in a mountain town in Southern Italy and nearly died from a "witch doctor" abortion in 1928 -- became independently wealth.
* Life on a hardscrabble farm in Hunterdon County.
Also, at 11:00 am, noted Nature Photographer Dwight Hiscano will lead a workshop that begins in the Dvoor Farm wagon house on how to take beautiful photos outdoors. This event is free, but please register in advance by calling 908-237-4582 or emailing judy@hunterdonlandtrust.org.
