1830's Temperance Rally, 1pm, Sunday, August 2, 2009, at the Historic Village at Allaire, NJ
About an hour south of NYC, and east of Philadelphia, just outside of Farmingdale, NJ, there will be a full scale temperance rally that includes a meeting of the Howell [Iron] Works Temperance Society, a Ladies' Temperance Tea and Social, and rousing speeches. Everyone is invited to this free event (parking $5).
And, yes, that indefatigable Pledge is making its comeback in the public eye. Everyone will be given an opportunity to join in "the taking of the Temperance oath" and make history via history while improving their lives at the same time. Here is the link. (repeated at 2:30pm)
