Local historian/author Margaret Thomas Buchholz will present her annual history talk at the High Point firehouse in Harvey Cedars on Thursday, July 24, 7 p.m.

She said this summer’s topic moves north a bit, featuring rarely seen photos of old Barnegat City from about 1900 to 1920. In 1948, Barnegat City formally changed its name to Barnegat Light. Buchholz is adding a personal touch, starting with The Ashley House, which her great-grandfather bought after he returned from the Civil War.
