As Mayor Susan McCartney, Township of West Orange since registering West Orange as a participant in Rev250, it was an honor to thank Superintendent Tammy Duchesne and Chief of Education & Interpretation David Vago of the Thomas Edison National Historical Park for hosting and coordinating our community's participation in the nationwide reading of the Declaration of Independence.

It was also my pleasure to introduce Town Historian Joseph Fagan, who delivered an outstanding recitation of the Declaration. What a memorable evening as West Orange joined communities across the nation in America's 250th synchronized reading of this historic document. Proud to celebrate our nation's founding right here in West Orange!
