A look at Colonial women

The Mullica Hill library will host a lecture by historian Lesley Parness on Sunday, Oct. 13, at 1:30 p.m.

The lecture will focus on the daily lives of New Jersey’s Colonial women and their kitchen gardens, which played a crucial role in feeding, healing and clothing early-American families in the 1700s. The 18th-century “huswife” was skilled in a wide range of essential tasks, including the making of wool, hemp and flax, as well as diaries, brewing, baking and gardening.
