Lawrence: Love It or Leave It, The Millham Secession and Other Dissatisfactions

In 1882 Lawrence lost half its population when Millham, the South Lawrence neighborhood on the Trenton border, seceded to form its own township. Millham’s declaration of independence capped several decades of dynamic growth that was largely ignored by the North Lawrence farmers who ran the township. Today Millham is part of Trenton’s North Ward.  Presented by Dennis Waters, former Lawrence Township historian and current member of the Mercer County Library Commission. Registration is required.  Wednesday, May 28, 7:00 pm
