History is not only preserved in museums and archives—it is carried forward by the next generation.

I'm proud to support Eagle Scout Candidate Aidan Crawley as he works toward earning the rank of Eagle Scout. His project will help preserve Piscataway's history by updating and digitizing Piscataway's Story, creating educational resources that will benefit local students, libraries, and our community for years to come.

If you have a few minutes on Saturday, June 20, please consider stopping by and supporting this worthwhile effort.

📅 Saturday, June 20
🕙 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 River Road Fire Company
102 Netherwood Avenue
Piscataway, NJ 08854

Every car wash helps bring this project one step closer to reality while helping preserve the story of our town for future generations.

Thank you for supporting Aidan's journey to Eagle Scout.

History stepped onto the world stage through many men during the American Revolution… but few shaped the future of the United States like Alexander Hamilton.

On Sunday, June 7th at 2:00 PM at East Jersey Old Town Village, the Piscataway Historical and Heritage Society welcomes historian Richard Moody for a special presentation on one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers: Alexander Hamilton.

Richard has presented this topic on several occasions, and each time audiences walk away with a deeper understanding of Hamilton’s role in shaping our nation during its earliest and most uncertain years.

From the Revolutionary War… to the founding of America’s financial system… to his lasting influence still felt today… this is a presentation you will not want to miss.
