Presented by Paul Soltis, Interpretive Specialist, Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage, learn about Frederick Frelinghuysen's life in Somerset County.

250 years ago in 1775 the first Provincial Congress of New Jersey assembled, offering an alternative deliberative body to the official General Assembly called by the Royal Governor. Frederick Frelinghuysen, father of Gen. Frelinghuysen whose historic home is now the Raritan Public Library, represented Somerset County and served Congress as an assistant secretary.

Presented by Paul Soltis, Interpretive Specialist, Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage, learn about Frederick Frelinghuysen's life in Somerset County from the Old Dutch Parsonage to the Gen. Frelinghuysen House and the American Revolution in New Jersey in this introduction to the work of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey 250 years ago.
