Each Spring, the History organizations in Westfield come together and present a Spring Assembly which is open to the public. The pandemic has interrupted the 2020 and 2021 programs, but they are back! This year, the Westfield Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is organizing the program to be held on Thursday, April 21, 2022 at 7:30 pm at the Assembly Room of The Presbyterian Church of Westfield. Christa Hannon will present the program on historical information related to that pivotal time in history, the Roaring Twenties.

 The Westfield Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will host the annual spring assembly of local historical societies on Thursday, April 21, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. in the Westfield Presbyterian Church’s assembly hall. The program will feature keynote speaker Christa Hannon, who will present apt historical information on the Roaring Twenties, a period of significant social and economic changes in America. Ms. Hannon has been a history teacher in West Windsor-Plainsboro High School, one of the consistently highest ranking high schools in New Jersey, for many years.
