SUMMARY:Author Talk: The Avett Brothers' Bob Crawford on "America’s Founding Son"
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Jersey Council for the Humanities at Labyrinth Books in Princeton for a special conversation between musician\, historian\, and author Bob Crawford and Sean Wilentz\, the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University. The discussion will center on Crawford’s new book\, America’s Founding Son: John Quincy Adams\, from President to Political Maverick. \nBest known as the bassist for the Grammy-nominated band The Avett Brothers\, Crawford brings his storytelling sensibility from the hit podcasts The Road to Now and Founding Son: John Quincy’s America to this accessible and engaging biography of John Quincy Adams\, America’s original political maverick and one of the nation’s most consequential public servants. \nSet during the turbulent decades between the Founding and the Civil War\, America’s Founding Son traces Adams’s evolution on slavery and his unlikely emergence as a champion of the antislavery cause. \nDoors will open at 3:30 p.m. General admission is free (tickets required). Admission with a reserved copy of the book is $28. \nGet your tickets now for this exciting event through Labyrinth Books! \nGet tickets

SUMMARY:Willingboro Futuro House Lecture & Exhibit Finale
DESCRIPTION:The Willingboro Public Library will host a concluding lecture to mark the finale of the exhibit on the township’s storied Futuro House on January 31\, 2026. \nThe Futuro House\, located in Mill Creek Park\, has long been an object of fascination among locals. A multi-year project spearheaded by the Willingboro Community Development Corporation has gathered information\, insights\, and recollections about the house with the help of NJCH funding. \nThe project’s findings and collections are on display at the library through January 31. A lecture by Eric Wolff of Chromium\, LLC will mark the finale of the exhibit. Wolff is an expert in “Space Age” design\, and his New Hope\, PA\, gallery and store specializes in refurbishing and selling furniture\, accessories\, and electronics in this iconic style primarily manufactured between 1965 to 1974. \nThe Willingboro Futuro House is a rare existing example of the Futuro\, a distinctive “UFO-style” manufactured home designed in the 1960s by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. Intended to be small\, efficient\, and easily portable lodgings\, approximately 100 models were manufactured. Of those\, only a small number of intact models remain. The Willingboro Futuro is believed to be the only remaining example in New Jersey and in the greater Philadelphia area. \nSince being moved to the park in 1975\, the house has served different purposes but for a number of years has been in disrepair. The exhibit traces the history of the local building and the Futuro House concept. The project ultimately aims to find support for refurbishing this piece of local history. \nPlease RSVP via email to thewcdc@gmail.com
