The History of Sayreville

The Sayreville Historical Society is proud to present the premiere of the film "The Story of Sayreville" on February 27 from 6 to 9 pm at the Active Adult Center at 423 Main Street.

The one-hour documentary, based on the book by John Schneider, tells the powerful story of Sayreville's history. The film tells the often overlooked story of Sayreville, a community shaped by clay, bricks, waterways, industry, immigration, war, and generations of residents. It's local history with national consequences brought to life.

In addition, before and after the screening, attendees are invited to pose for selfies with Revolutionary War-era costumes, with period props and relics in front of an historically inspired backdrop. Author and filmmaker John Schneider will also be on hand to autograph several of his books, including "The Story of Sayreville: The Town Built With Bricks".

This is an event you don't want to miss! Admission is free and refreshments will be available for purchase.
