Somerset County Juneteenth Celebration
Somerville Courthouse Green Main Street - Between North Bridge and Grove Street, Somerville, NJ, United StatesSomerset County Juneteenth Celebration Somerset County will honor 18 US Colored Troops (USCT) who fought for the Union Army in the Civil War and are buried in Somerville’s New Cemetery at its fourth annual Juneteenth celebration on Wednesday, June 19. The program begins at 5:30 p.m. on the steps of the Historic Somerset County Courthouse in Somerville. “Juneteenth celebrates the day when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Texas,” said Somerset County Commissioner Director Shanel Y. Robinson. “It is thus very fitting that we use this holiday to remember and honor the US Colored Troops who helped save the Union, end the sin of slavery, and who were laid to rest here in Somerset County.” As part of the festivities, the Somerset County Commissioners will award the Juneteenth Leadership Award to Arthur E.D. Adair, a Somerville native who has cared for the graves of those 18 African American veterans for nearly two decades. The keynote address will be given by Director Robinson’s own father, the Rev. Dr. W. Golden Carmon, Sr. the Senior Pastor at Mount Zion A.M.E. Church, New Brunswick. Somerset County Surrogate Bernice “Tina” Jalloh, Esq., will speak regarding the County’s new grant funded project
Nature Days Enrichment Programs
Nature Days Enrichment Programs At Nature Days, we let kids be kids as they explore, create, and discover! Our educators guide children through structured and unstructured learning and play time outdoors, helping children develop the creativity and critical thinking needed to build long-lasting connections with nature. Age appropriate activities let children develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills, encourage cooperative play, practice positive social behavior and communication skills. Our programs are made up of small groups of children with a low student to teacher ratio, allowing each child to get the attention they need. Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve has plenty of space to explore with quiet forests, trickling streams, colorful meadows, big skies, fresh air, and even some magical places where fairies are thought to live! Ages 3-5 Adult Participation Optional
