Macculloch Hall Historical Museum presents a Civil War Lecture Series in conjunction with the exhibit “Gone for a Soldier:” Jerseymen in the Civil War
On Wednesday April 25th Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is pleased to welcome speaker John Zinn in conjunction with the museum’s current exhibit “Gone for a Soldier:” Jerseymen in the Civil War. Presented in collaboration with the New Jersey Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee, this new exhibit brings together for the first time about two hundred objects from the Civil War from nearly thirty museums, historical societies, and private collections. Each month through June the Museum is presenting a lecture relating to the exhibit. All lectures start at 7:00pm with tickets available from 6:30pm and are held at the Cincinnati Masonic Lodge No.3, 39 Maple Avenue (one block from the Museum).
Baseball season is upon us and Mr. Zinn joins us to speak about “New Jersey Base ball during the Civil War Era, 1855-1870”. Base ball, as it was written at the time, came to New Jersey in the 1850’s and grew rapidly throughout the Civil War era. This talk describes the game’s early beginnings in New Jersey, prominent teams and players. The impact of the war on the game’s development in New Jersey and how New Jersey soldiers took the new game with them to the front will also be discussed.
John Zinn is an independent historian with special interest in the Civil War era and baseball history. He is the chair of the New Jersey Civil War 150th Anniversary Committee and the chairman of the board of the New Jersey Historical Society. John holds BA and MBA degrees from Rutgers University. He is a Vietnam veteran. John is the author of "The Mutinous Regiment: The Thirty-third New Jersey in the Civil War," which vividly describes the experiences of the soldiers in a regiment born in the midst of the draft riots of 1863. He also wrote "The Major League Pennant Races of 1916: "The Most Maddening Baseball Melee in History," (with Paul Zinn), and is the editor of a forthcoming book on Ebbets Field in Brooklyn (also with Paul Zinn). He has contributed numerous articles to anthologies on New Jersey and the Civil War and 19th century baseball. Mr. Zinn will be available to sell and sign “The Mutinous Regiment" and "New Jersey's Civil War Odyssey" which includes an essay on base ball.
All lectures start at 7pm with tickets available from 6:30pm and are held at the Cincinnati Masonic Lodge No. 3, 39 Maple Avenue (one block from the museum). Tickets for the lectures are Adults $8, Seniors $6, Students (over 12 years) $6. Members of the Museum will receive a $2 discount for these special programs. Memberships can be purchased at the door. Cash or check only please. Ticket holders to the museum exhibit will receive a $2 discount to the lectures with proof of admission; lecture ticket holders may also receive a $2 discount on a museum exhibit visit. See ticket desk for details. On the evenings of the Civil War Lecture Series the Museum will have extended exhibit hours from 1pm - 6:30pm. “Gone for a Soldier” is on display Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday afternoons through July 1st 2012.

The Theater Project will host a benefit Monday, March 5 at 8pm entitled “An Evening of Sondheim” at the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts in Maplewood, NJ. The performance will feature Broadway and Broadway touring actors from Maplewood, South Orange, Livingston, and other New Jersey communities, who are coming together to support The Theater Project. The event marks the Theater’s debut in a new home - the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts.
A wine and cheese reception with the artists will be take place following the performance. Tickets are $50 per person. The Burgdorff Center is located at 10 Durand Road, Maplewood, NJ. For reservations call 973 763-4029 or go to the website www.TheTheaterProject.org.
“One of the leading voices in contemporary American Musical Theater, Stephen Sondheim has been a driving force on Broadway for nearly six decades - his work being performed in theaters around the globe,” says the event’s producer and director, Thom Christopher Warren. Mr. Warren - of Broadway’s The Lion King, who has assembled an ensemble of Broadway talent that will give voice to Sondheim’s works. Musically directed and arranged by Mark Weissman, of Maplewood and choreographed by Kenny Ingram, also of The Lion King, the evening will be hosted by Richard Kline, best known for his comic turn on TV’s Three’s Company and boasts the talents of Rose Pedone (It’s A Wonderful Life), Alice Evans (original Broadway companies of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Sweet Charity), Nicolette Hart (The Wedding Singer, Legally Blonde, Rent), Corey Skaggs (Mary Poppins), Matt Densky (The Grinch, The Little Mermaid), Lauren Sprague (The Producers), L. Steven Taylor (The Lion King, Scottsboro Boys), Wyatt Manobla, Sara Masterson, Justin Friesen, and Sean Patrick Gibbons and will include tunes from Sondheim’s vast catalogue of work: including West Side Story, Gypsy, Company, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Passion, and Sunday in the Park With George. When asked what is his connection to The Theater Project, Warren says “I have friends on the creative board and felt that we, as artists who live in the area, have a responsibility to help foster the Arts in our community in any and every way we can. I simply reached out to my friends and explained that we have a local, professional theater company in our backyard that needs our help, and because they are my friends, they jumped on board with open hearts and ready to sing. Not to mention that Sondheim helped to change the emotional and intellectual landscape of the American Musical, and his work is a joy and a challenge for any actor to sink his teeth into.”

Seton Hall University's undergraduate program in Art History and graduate program in Museum Professions are pleased to announce a special lecture by Dr. Barbara Gaehtgens, a distinguished art historian and well-known expert on Dutch seventeenth-century art. Dr. Gaehtgens will speak on The Abduction of Ganymede, an early painting by Rembrandt van Rijn. The focus of her lecture will be the work's unorthodox depiction of the famous classical myth of Ganymede, a beautiful youth whom Zeus desires to be his cupbearer. Rembradnt's decision to portray Ganymede as a squirming, undignified toddler has long puzzled art scholars. Dr. Gaehtgens's talk will examine Rembrandt's unusual treatment of the subject matter and its possible political implications.
The lecture is free and open to the public. For questions or directions, please contact the Museum Professions office at (973) 761-7966.

Dr. Marian Glenn, RRA Board Member, Forest Ecologist and Co-Director of Environmental Studies at Seton Hall University, will describe the history and on-going efforts of this long-term project in ecological restoration undertaken by Essex County Parks Department with volunteer support organized by the South Mountain Conservancy. The project employs both professional and volunteer efforts to manage the deer herd by annual culling, construction of numerous exclosures, planting native species and removing invasive species. The South Mountain Reservation, established in 1895, is the largest park in Essex County. Located in central Essex County, the park covers over 2000 acres in three municipalities--West Orange, Millburn and Maplewood. The park includes 19 miles of trails and carriage roads, historic sites, a zoo, ice arena, and part of the Rahway River.
Registration is required and space is limited. The $20 fee includes lunch. Please register by March 5. For more information, and to register, visit http://njconservation.org/conservationrally.htm or contact carol@njconservation.org.
