Enjoy a virtual "Hardenbergh Hike" through history, art and nature in this virtual lecture on New Jersey's turn-of-the-century artist and ornithologist Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh. Explore the Jersey Dutch roots of the Hardenbergh and Rutgers families, learn about the study of nature at New Jersey's colonial colleges in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and then discover the trails you can follow in New Jersey State Parks to devise your own "Hardenbergh Hikes" to see the landscapes and wildlife Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh depicted over a century ago.

Presenter: Paul Soltis is the State Park Service's historian for Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites in Somerville, George Washingtons' winter headquarters and historic home of the founder and first president of Rutgers, in Somerville, Somerset County. Paul has studied at William and Mary, Colonial Williamsburg, and Aberdeen and connects New Jersey history to the natural and historic places preserved at State Parks, Forests and Historic Sites.
