Welcome to the official web site of the Union Landing Historical Society! MARK YOUR CALENDAR! OUR NEXT EVENT:
A NEW BOOK! Last week the book committee wrapped up work on the Society's latest book Brielle: Saltworks to Suburb. Published by the History Press of Charleston, SC this volume is a revamped edition of the society's first book Union Landing Revisited, published in 1989. Since the publication of the first book new photographs, archival materials, stories of Brielle and anecdotes have been presented to the society and the borough historian. It has been our effort over the last 4 years to compile an updated history of Brielle using this new unpublished material and building upon the story of Union Landing Revisited. Brielle: Saltworks to Suburb is scheduled for release this coming Brielle Day, September 12, 2009. The new book is 160 pages in length and contains over 85 images, many of which have never been published before. The year 2009 also marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Borough of Brielle. The story of how the Borough of Brielle came to be, also not documented in any previous Brielle history book, is featured in the new history book. Brielle: Saltworks to Suburb is priced at 21.99 plus tax. Click for a pre-sale order form. REMEMBER 2009 DUES ARE DUE - THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
