Progress Digs Up the Past
State
President Vittoria Marie Flick is pleased to announce the New Jersey Society
Children of the American Revolution State Project for 2013-2014. The project is
to raise money for the East Jersey Olde Town Village
in Piscataway, New Jersey. The money raised during this project will be used
for the preserving and interpretation of Revolutionary War artifacts, which
were found during the excavation of the Route 18 Widening Project in New Brunswick
in what was the port town called Raritan Landing.
The Raritan Landing archaeological findings include the
remains of house foundations, commercial structures, and associated artifacts
dating to the heyday of the community in the middle of the 18th century, to the
destruction during the Revolutionary War, and to the rebuilding of the
community after the war.
East Jersey Olde Towne
Village is located
on River Road on a 12-acre showcase in Johnson Park. The
collection includes original, reconstructed, and replicated 18th and 19th
century of architecture typical of farm and merchant communities of central New
Jersey.
The money for this project will be raised through donations and by
selling voices on a hand-made quilt and a framed Norman Rockwell print. We hope
you will support this project.
