The year 2011 marked the 45th anniversary of the enactment of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Great strides in historic preservation have occurred since then, but little has been written or told about the instrumental role played by Jacqueline Kennedy in creating the climate for the passage of that important legislation. This program presents an interesting look behind the scenes of how “Jackie” stopped the bulldozers and set the course for historic preservation. Take a step back in time and see how far we’ve come.

“Jacqueline Kennedy’s Historic Preservation Legacy,”a lecture presented by Ms. Kathleen Galop, will be given Wednesday Evening ~ September 18, 2013 ~ 7:00 p.m  at The Barron Arts Center 582 Rahway Avenue Woodbridge NJ 07095.

Reservations are Required. Please call 732-634-0413.

This production is part of the Dr. Stephen Kaplan “A Taste of the Arts” Lecture Series and is sponsored by The Woodbridge Township Cultural Arts Commission chaired by Dr. Dolores Capraro Gioffre with the support of Mayor John E. McCormac.
