West Windsor's Cast-Metal History Signs

Permanent Placemaking
You may have noticed some fancy blue cast-metal signs around town. Well, we at the Historical Society of West Windsor are extremely proud of these signs. They are part of our larger Signage Project, aimed at installing permanent, cast-aluminum markers in/near historic communities/sites around West Windsor! Starting in 2023, several signs have been installed around town - see the slideshow above. Each provides a broad, overarching history of various historic neighborhoods and sites for passersby. Each is typically written and designed with input from at least a dozen West Windsor residents, including some from each of the four communities.

The signs are made by by Ohio-based “Sewah Studios” - which, since 1927, has produced markers that last for many decades with very little maintenance (only soap/water). Substantial donations fund our Signage Project. We deeply thank those donors who have given so far (see list below); we thank every one of them for their support and encourage donations from the broader community to support this project.  

Our Signage Project has only just begun. We hope to work with the community to install many more around town in the coming years, memorializing West Windsor’s rich history for generations to come.
Donors:
  1. Princeton University (2022) - $10,000
  2. Anonymous Donor (2022) - $1,500
