Introducing a special video: “The Old Kitchen at the Abraham Staats House:  A Window into Slavery in New Jersey

We are proud to debut a special video produced for the Abraham Staats House. “The Old Kitchen at the Abraham Staats House:  A Window into Slavery in New Jersey,” not only provides a visual access to the Old Kitchen and Slave Quarters above the kitchen, but gives a glimpse into the reality of slavery in New Jersey and the lives of the enslaved people who were part of the living history of the Staats’ homestead, during the 18^th and 19^th century.

This video was created by Stepping Stone Strategies made possible by funds from the Somerset County Cultural and Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey Historical Commission and funds from the Borough of South Bound Brook.
