ON THE THRESHOLD OF INDEPENDENCE: HUNTERDON COUNTY 1775-1776
The Forgotten Victory: 1780 and Hunterdon County Connections
Kevin Vancio explores one of America's most overlooked Revolutionary chapters in the brutal campaigns of 1780 in NJ, when burning towns, secret networks, and fierce local resistance helped turn the tide of the war.From Union County to Hunterdon County, we'll track the forgotten contributions of Minutemen, Black heroes, local militias, and the people whose roles were buried under scattered records, missing archives, and decades of neglect. Even the Union County seal depicts the fiery day of June 7, 1980 yet few people know its true meaning and how it connects to Hunterdon County's Revolutionary War history. Kevin Vancio is the creative lead and historical designer supporting the nonprofit Forgotten Victory Association. He specializes in the design and research of New Jersey's 1780 Revolutionary War battles and leads visual storytelling for the recently established Forgotten Victory Trail.
