    The library exhibit was enjoyed by staff and patrons alike. One of our most commonly asked reference questions at the library is for information about Free Acres, its residents and history. thanks for sharing your treasures.

    I wrote an article now nearly 30 years ago, which was published in New Jersey History, which was then the publication of the N.J. Historical Scoiety. The article traces Free Acres' establishment and early history through the early 198o's. The article may be accessed through Free Acres Home Page. It may answer many of the questions that you have.
