This episode marks the first in my eight-year partnership series with RevolutionNJ, leading up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026 and continuing through 2033 — the 250th anniversary of the Treaty of Paris.
It’s also a continuation of my ongoing Lenape series, which explores New Jersey’s Original People — their land, their legacy, and their long struggle to be seen in a story too often told without them.
Here, we go to Middlebrook, New Jersey, in 1779, when Lenape leaders met with General George Washington in the very heart of their ancestral homeland. It was a moment of hope, diplomacy, and quiet tragedy — when the people who once named this land briefly came home during America’s Revolution.
