A concert featuring traditional harvest songs performed by balladeer Linda Russell will help mark the turning of the seasons at the New Jersey State Park Service’s Old Dutch Parsonage-Wallace House historic site in Somerville, Somerset County, on Saturday, Sept. 30.
“From the time of earliest settlement, American colonists celebrated fall’s bounty with feasts, balls, horse races and hunts,” said New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry Director Mark Texel. “We are pleased to join the Wallace House-Old Dutch Parsonage Association in extending an invitation to the public to enjoy balladeer Linda Russell as she performs songs that celebrate the Garden State’s harvest heritage.”
The concert will begin at 1:30 p.m. and will be held at the Old Dutch Parsonage, adjacent to the interpretive center located at 71 Somerset Street. A $10 per-person donation is suggested. Advance registration is recommended by calling (908) 725-1015 or by emailing whouse3@verizon.net. Please register early. Seating is limited. For more information read the entire DEP news release here.
