LAST MONTH OF BURROWS MANSION CELEBRATIONS By Cathy Zavorskas

In June, the Matawan Historical Society kicked off a series of events to commemorate the town’s 300th anniversary. After the initial celebrations, these events have included a summer concert in the backyard of the Burrowes Mansion, a game of Jeopardy, the premiere of the video depicting the reenactment of the 1778 Raid at Burrowes Mansion, and most recently, the Haunted Tales of Burrowes Mansion. As we head into the holiday season, plans are underway for the Annual Holiday Musicale Open House. It will be held on Sunday,

December 3rd from 1-4pm. The Musicale is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to experience the grandeur of the Mansion while it is beautifully decorated for the holidays. Guests can sing along to holiday music performed by Society member and Borough Councilman, Steven Russell, and the 5-part a cappella singing group, MadRegalia. Our wonderful variety of refreshments always add to the festive atmosphere. Since this year marks the 300th anniversary, we hope to expand the decorations and display some special features. As always, the

Musicale is free, and no tickets will be required for entrance. We hope you will take the time to stop by, whether it’s to simply say hello or to stay a while and enjoy all that we have to offer. The Musicale provides a welcome reprieve from the frenzied days that are all too often a part of the season as we prepare for the holidays. Be sure to keep a look out for other events to be posted on the Matawan Historical Society Facebook page, including an author signing and tea party, and the final reception to end our 300th anniversary celebrations.
