Mr. Dick Kehoe, a member of the Historical Society of the Rockaways, has done some really neat work overlaying historic maps and deeds on current lot-and-block maps. I've seen him lecture before and I was very impressed. I expect this will be a great talk too. I apologize for the last-minute notice.


The Iron Connection

September 11, 7:30 p.m.
Wharton Public Library
15 South Main Street, Wharton, NJ

The Iron Connection -
The Mt. Hope, Teabo, Allen, and Richard Mines and Port Oram

A special presentation of the Wharton Historical Society and The
Historical Society of the Rockaways' noted historian, Dick Kehoe.

Mr. Kehoe, whose primary research method is the study of original land
deeds and maps, will discuss the relationship of Port Oram on the
Morris Canal, in what now is known as Wharton, and the several iron
mines located in the extreme southwest corner of Rockaway Township.

Unfortunately I didn't have enough notice on this, but thanks for posting it for anyone who may have made it. How did the presentation go? I'd love to know how everything went. Thanks again.
