MIDDLETOWN – On June 4 and June 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Monmouth County Historical Association invites the community to come to the Taylor-Butler House at 127 Kings Highway to share stories, artifacts, and photographs for a forthcoming exhibit titled Turning Tides: Stories from Superstorm Sandy.
This exhibition will open in October at the Museum to mark the fifth anniversary of the Storm making landfall along the local shores. It will explore the impact of this record storm and its effects on the people and on communities in this area, using their own words, photographs, and artifacts.
The public is invited to drop off any photographs or artifacts to share.
The guest curator, Monmouth University Professor of Public History, Melissa Ziobro, is available to perform an interview. Call 732-462-1466 or email sandy@monmouthhistory.org to book a time.
“Sandy should not be forgotten after altering the lives of so many people and communities in such a dramatic way,” expressed MCHA President Linda Bricker. “It is a story that will be of great interest to future generations and which should be documented while those impacted can relate personal experiences.”
