The Life and Times of Nutley Luminary Dr. George B. Philhower Presented by Historian, David Wilson
Tuesday, October 10 at 7 pm in the Stockton Room
Many folks helped to form and grow early Franklin Township, now Nutley Township, but few had the vision and energy of Dr. George Philhower. His first involvement in 1886 as a “country doctor” started a long and most complete pursuit of improving the quality of life in Nutley. He was in leadership positions at Vincent Methodist Church, Nutley Public Library, Nutley School Board, Parks Commission, Medical Societies, Health Commission, Nutley Memorial Parkway, and Social Clubs. He was a family man and an avid baseball fan, both locally, and at the NY Polo Grounds.
Dr. Philhower’s story is a template for community involvement that will inspire folks to join in to help their town grow and prosper through volunteer days, partnerships, donations, and cultural participation.
David Wilson, author, historian, and promoter of all things Nutley will be making a one hour illustrated presentation on Dr. George Bronson Philhower.
