Plans Underway For Historical Signs Across South Brunswick

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — In 2026, the United States of America will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War.

Ahead of this event, the South Brunswick Historical Society (SBHS) plans to commemorate historical sites across South Brunswick with signposts.

George Washington and his troops passed through Crossroads in Dayton on their way to Cranbury before the Battle of Monmouth.

A $14 bill was paid to Wetherill probably for food, lodging or provisions supplied to Washington and his staff.

The hotel was approximately where the Wawa in Dayton stands today, according to the SBHS.

The group said this could be a possible place for a historical marker as well as Longbridge Farm where George Washington encamped on his way to the Battle of Monmouth.

The group will meet Tuesday evening and future dates for meetings will also be announced on the South Brunswick Public Library website.
