West Windsor History Markers

Permanent Placemaking

You might notice some fancy historic markers around town. Well, our nonprofit is proud of them. Our "Signage Project" marks historic landmarks around West Windsor Township. They're manufactured in America to last for decades, ensuring that residents and visitors remain connected to the stories that shaped our community. Since 2023, we've worked neighbors and the Township to fund and install them - see the slideshow above. Each marker is typically produced with input from local residents.

These markers are entirely funded by donations. We deeply thank those who have given so far (listed below). We hope to install many more, but we need your support to do so.

How you can Help

We're a small, all-volunteer nonprofit (none of us gets paid) and these signs are expensive (about $3,000+ each). We can only install as much as our funds allow, so PLEASE DONATE.

Donations may be tax-deductible to our 501(c)(3). You can donate two ways:

1. Online: Visit our Donate page, click the yellow "Donate" button, and select the option to pay by debit or credit card. Please indicate in the notes section that your donation is specifically for our "Signage Project."
2. Check/Cash: Mail cash or a check (payable to the "Historical Society of West Windsor") to 331 North Post Road #774, West Windsor, NJ 08550. Please include a letter or memo line saying that it is specifically for our "Signage Project."
