Join the Sayreville Historical Society for a tour of the historic Lenape Trail with speakers Claire Garland, Director Sand Hill Indian Historical Association, and Marc Gottwerth, retired president to the East Coast Chapter of the Intertribal Council of AT&T Employees (ICAE) 401(c).

Their program will be part of the Sayreville Historical Society’s monthly meeting on Thursday, March 12, 2026. The meeting begins at 7:15 pm in the Sayreville Active Adult Center at 423 Main Street, Sayreville.

The presentation takes attendees on a 75-mile journey from the historic Lenape Council Fire at Minisink Island in the Delaware River and through historic villages of New Jersey to Sandy Hook and the Navesink River. Part of the presentation includes a virtual tour of some of the oldest buildings along the trail and an existing, unpaved section of the Minisink Trail.

The talk will also include recent work in Monmouth County placing Historical Road Markers along the Trail and the Trail's Raritan River crossing in Sayreville. Lenape uses of the land and resources around Sayreville will also be discussed.

Our originally planned speaker had to cancel due to family illness. The Society is grateful to Claire and Marc for stepping in on short notice.

The Sayreville Historical Society's monthly meeting is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please feel free to bring a non-perishable food item for the Sayreville Food Bank.
