Songs America Voted By

October 13 @ 2:00 pm

Free
Historical musician and balladeer Linda Russell takes you on a romp through elections past as you hear the ditties that inspired Americans to vote.  She sings gems like Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too; Grover’s Veto and You’re Alright, Teddy. When the Whig Party nominated New Jersey’s Theodore Frelinghuysen for vice president in 1844, one songster found a rhyme to Frelinghuysen!
Bring your own lawn chair or blanket for this autumnal afternoon outdoors concert at Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites.
The Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association sponsors this program. Made possible by funds from the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and New Jersey Historical Commission, as part of Somerset County’s Weekend Journey Through the Past.
