The Somerset County Historical Society and the Hillsborough Public Library present:

The Historic Peace Conference of September 11, 1776

On September 11, 1776, Continental Congress representatives Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge met with the King's representative,  Lord Richard Howe to negotiate terms of independence. No reconcilliation was reached and both the colonists and the Crown faced the inevitability of war.

Donald Johnstone Peck, author, historian, speaker and long-time preservationist will lead us in unpacking the fascinating dimensions of our rich Revolutionary War history.
