Reimagining the Hackensack Meadowlands, 1968-1972

Abstract

The 2016 NJ History and Historic Preservation Conference, "Building a Place for History," occurred June 8 - 9, 2016 at Seton Hall University in South Orange. You can see more about the conference, co- hosted by the NJ Historic Trust, the NJ Historical Commission, the NJ Historic Preservation Office, and the Friends of NJ Heritage, at http://www.njpreservationconference.org/. Organizers invited students and new professionals, dubbed "the future leaders of our history and preservation professions," to submit poster presentations for display at the event. The Council for the Humanities sponsored the poster session, which was judged on site at the conference by Dr. Richard Veit of Monmouth University, Mark Dilonno of the Star Ledger, and Cristen Piatnotchka of the NJ Historical Commission. We are pleased to share winner Cheryl Hendry's poster with you here.
