Re-enactment of 1899 Camp Meeting, Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM)

Saturday October 12, 2024
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

On Saturday, October 12, the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) will hold a free, family-friendly event recreating an 1899 Camp Meeting with live music, costumed reenactors, horse and buggy rides for kids, and more. This is SSAAM's first-ever living history event and is presented as part of Somerset County's 19th annual "Journey Through the Past" weekend.

The reenactment will take place at the historically African American-owned Reasoner-True House and National Historic Register-listed Mt. Zion AME Church. From the 1800s to the 1930s, Mt. Zion AME hosted popular annual camp meetings in Skillman. At a time before cars and telephones, these religious revivals and community gatherings were the biggest social events of the year and attracted Black and white families from across New Jersey's Sourland Mountain Region.
