Podcast Episode 206: My Personal Experience Exploring East Jersey Old Town The Village© 2025 ISBN 978-976-97521-1-5 Hi and welcome to yet another enlightening episode of my podcast, listeners! I am Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.coming to you from lovely Barbados. As a doctor of theology, author, podcaster, photojournalist, media arts specialist, and cultural theorist, I invite you to join me today as we embark on a fascinating tour of East Jersey’s Olde Towne The Village—a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of the 18th and 19th centuries. Together, we will uncover the architectural treasures of East Jersey Old Towne, where each building stands as a meticulously preserved relic, narrating the rich history of the Raritan Valley, including the storied Indian Queen Tavern.

In this episode, I utilize a variety of lenses shaped by my multifaceted background—scholar, theologian, photojournalist, and cultural theorist—to craft a visual narrative that captures our rich cultural past. These lenses allow me to highlight cultural backgrounds, convey compelling narratives, and explore photographic artistry. It is through this approach that I seek to enhance my research obligations while increasing visibility around our shared historical narratives and structures.
