Meeting Room ABC

Learn about the Lenape of NJ, the Ice Age, and try a wilderness skill firsthand.

The program begins with a discussion of the plants and animals of NJ, along with a discussion of Ice Age NJ where our story begins. This includes museum quality artifacts of numerous Ice Age animals including Woolly Mammoth, Short Faced Bear, Megalodon, touch real animal pelts and more. After which we discuss (with many life sized handmade displays) food, clothing, shelter, tools of the Lenape, and describe how these items were made. There is ample Q & A time. There will also be a demonstration of fire by friction.
