Plainfield Historical Society trustees JoAnn Bandomer, Andrea Kee and Nancy Piwowar sleuthed some historic Plainfield photo showing Black residents and have identified a number of previously unknown residents. Piwowar will discuss their findings in a gallery talk at the Drake House Museum Sunday afternoon, entitled 'How Dinah the Cook identified many in Laing Hotel photo'.
The gallery talk accompanies the month-long Black History Month exhibit of African-American images from the Society's collection. The exhibit includes recent acquisitions focused on the late Plainfield Olympian Milt Campbell.
Piwowar's gallery talk is at 2:30 PM Sunday. The Drake House Museum at 602 West Front Street (at the foot of Plainfield Avenue) is open to the public Sunday afternoons from 2:00 - 4:00 PM, and at other times by appointment. For more information, call (908) 755-5831 or visit the website at www.drakehouseplainfieldnj.org/.
