Mini History Exhibit at Hollowbrook Center
Created by local artist Beverly Keese Kellee, the Mini History Museum will be on display through February at Hollowbrook Community Center, 320 Hollowbrook Dr, Ewing.
From the artist: As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th of this year 2026, we pause to take a look at how it all began. This display case acts as a Mini History Museum.

The information and artifacts represent early American events such as the Battle for Independence, the first stitches of the American flag and a very significant shift, the Emancipation Proclamation. The artifacts add another layer of visual to the story of the Indigenous, Colonized and Enslaved peoples of America.
Happy Anniversary America!

Second Skirmish at Crosswicks Creek -- America 250
Independent historian Matthew A. Leilich discusses a little known but important conflict of the American Revolution: The Second Skirmish at Crosswicks Creek. This confrontation in June of 1778 effected the outcome of the more well-known Battle of Monmouth. General Dickensen wrote to General Washington during the fighting:
"Unexpectedly, the Enemy made their appearance, about six o'clock this Evening, on the other side the Drawbridge—I take this to be, their advanced party, consisting of about seven, or eight hundred Men this is the Column, which I mentioned to your Excellency, that was advancing on the Bordentown road—but from the best intelligence, their main body, lays on the Allentown road—they were busily employed in pulling down a Barn, to rebuild the Drawbridge, but our Artillery & Musketry, effectually put a stop to their Operations, for this Evening—I have taken the necessary precautions, to prevent a surprise—& tomorrow, shall dispute the passages with them, unless they outflank us."

SHE LOVES ME
Through Jan. 11, Kelsey Theater, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor.
If you liked Parfumerie then you will love the musical version of that story, considered by many to be the most charming musical ever! Amalia and Georg work together at a modest Hungarian parfumerie and dislike each other from the beginning. He thinks she’s stuck up, and she thinks he’s arrogant and mean. But each rapturously writes to a lonely-hearts pen pal when the work day is done, and it doesn’t take long for the audience to see that they’re in love without realizing it. Inevitably, through some of the most iconic songs in the musical theatre canon ("Vanilla Ice Cream," "She Loves Me," "Will He Like Me?"), Georg and Amalia also discover the truth and rejoice in their love for each other at the story’s sweet and musically delightful conclusion. Tickets
