NEW GARDEN: History of Lyceum Hall

The 167-year-old Lyceum Hall will be open from noon to 4 p.m. October 19 as part of New Garden Community Day in New Garden Park on Route 41. Members of the township's historical commission will be there to answer questions, and at 3 p.m. they'll give a presentation on the history of the building and how they have restored it over the past few years. On display will be artifacts from earlier uses of the building, which included a school, a refuge for runaway slaves, a township building and a polling place.
