History@Home: Tales of Old Newark

Since 1802, Newark has been a thriving community. But what did those early years look like? Thanks to first-hand accounts of Newark in the beginning of the nineteenth century, we can get a picture of what life was like in Newark 200 years ago. Join our Museum Curator, Cory Stutes, to hear the tales of Old Newark.

Cool Stuff! I did some ancestry work, and it turns out my ancestors were some of the very early families to settle there, Mannings, Williams, Elkins, Thayers & Woodrings. I will have to come and visit!

Cory thanks for doing this video. I live in a piece of Newark history and I knew none of the information in your presentation.
