Scope & Content |
Fosterfields Papers, parent record. The majority of the materials in this collection were part of the gift of the Foster Family Papers, given to the Morris County Park Commission by Caroline Foster as a bequest after her death in 1979. The Fosterfields Papers were pulled from the Foster Family Papers during a reorganization of that collection in 2011 and were merged with other recent donations to create the Fosterfields Papers. |
