S6 Ep14: A Journey Through Revolutionary War New Jersey

 

As many may know, the United States of America will be celebrating its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. With that important date on the horizon, some will pause to think about the American Revolution and the great sacrifices made to gain our independence from Great Britain.

New Jersey, one of the original thirteen colonies, played a critical role during the Revolutionary War as many battles were fought there and George Washington spent more time there, than anywhere else.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with author and website creator, Al Frazza. Al is a lifelong resident of New Jersey whose passion for history prompted him to take a seven and a half year journey to research, photograph and document nearly 650 historic Revolutionary War sites throughout his state. 

Al then used his research to create a comprehensive website called (RevolutionaryWarNewJersey.com), which provides historians, teachers and history buffs with a treasure trove of information.

Al, who authored the book, “State of Revolution, My Seven-and-a-Half-Year Journey Through Revolutionary War New Jersey”, will share his experiences of traveling to all of New Jersey’s twenty one counties to complete the research for his amazing website.
