For The Westfield Historical Society’s First Wednesday Luncheon series, guests are welcomed back in-person at the newly renovated Echo Lake Country Club. Meg Wastie, former Program Consultant for the Westfield Historical Society, will present a program entitled “Shipwrecked!” on September 1st.
New Jersey, by virtue of being a coastal state, has been home to many shipwrecks. Learn about some of the most famous shipwrecks off the coast of New Jersey - from colonial times to the 20th century. The event will begin with check-in at 11:45 am at Echo Lake Country Club, 515 Springfield Ave., Westfield.
