WEST WINDSOR'S HISTORY DOESN'T PRESERVE ITSELF - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Since 1983, our all-volunteer nonprofit has publicized our shared municipal heritage, hosted community events, restored the West Windsor History Museum, and more. We've also led preservation projects - now for the mid-1700s Schenck-Covenhoven Cemetery. This National Register of Historic Places-eligible site holds town founders, likely Revolutionary soldiers, and many early settlers. But, abandoned generations ago, it has decayed over decades. So, we plan to restore and highlight it for years to come.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! Cemetery restoration (gravestone/wall repair, tree care, signage, etc.) is expensive, and our small nonprofit can only do as much as donations allow. Please see the link below for more on our plans and how to donate (online or via mail).
