You are invited to the Proprietary House in Perth Amboy to witness the Arrest of Governor William Franklin. There will be two performances, one at 1 pm and another at 3:30 pm. In between, Ed Glidden will lead a musket-firing demonstration. This is a fun event that involves history and some theatrics. The royal governor’s mansion, known today as the Proprietary House in Perth Amboy, each year stages a reenactment of the 1776 Arrest of Royal Governor William Franklin with the help of the NJSSAR Color Guard and others. The Proprietary House was the home of the last royal governor of New Jersey, William Franklin.
