My Next Talk: Celery Farm & Fell House

DSCN7817
I am pleased to announce that I will be giving a free talk about the Celery Farm Natural Area and nearby historic John Fell House in at the Bergen County Audubon Society on  Wednesday, Jan.18.

I'll discuss the history of the Celery Farm and the Fell House  – two subjects near and dear to my heart — including the unsung John Fell’s heroic role in the Revolutionary War,  DSCN9276the house that bears his name, and the swamp that he owned – once called Fell's Meadows and better known today as the 107-acre Celery Farm.

A slide show featuring never-seen before  archival Fell photos and nature shots of the Celery Farm will illustrate my talk.

As a so-called bonus, I'll read aloud my ground-breaking story about the Wild Turduckens that have been reported on High Mountain.

There may also be a surprise inspection of the Crowphy trophy to make sure the BCAS is taking good care of the valuable statuette until its return next winter.

Location: Teaneck Creek Conservancy
20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ
Directions: www.teaneckcreek.org
Chapter business meeting: 7:30 p.m.
Program presentation: 8 p.m.
Refreshments available prior to meeting

  • I would like to go…I have signed up for a course but maybe I could let them know I need to miss that day. I love history and enjoy your talks. (Come join our Award-winning Sweet Adelines International chorus for a 3 week event, starting on Jan. 11th and running for 3 consecutive Wednesdays. You will join the chorus for vocal warmups and learn a tag, and then head off for vocal technique lessons in the wonderful genre of a cappella singing.)
