Margaret's Diary During a Revolution at Historic Cold Spring Village

Written and performed by Gayle Stahlhuth, Margaret is based on the actual diary of Margaret Morris and other research. Set in 1795, Margaret visits a location to read sections from her diary and reflect on events leading up to and after The Battle of Trenton while living in Burlington, NJ next to the Delaware River. Beginning her detailed entries on December 6, 1776, her writing addresses imminent Hessian invasions and the patrols of the Pennsylvania Navy and the Pennsylvania and New Jersey militias, while many neighbors fled Burlington and Margaret remained. Stahlhuth has been touring Margaret throughout New Jersey since March.
