Grover's Mill, New Jersey Celebrates 75th Martian Anniversary

Persico in the Times of Trenton, radio play writer Howard Koch closed his eyes and randomly pointed a pencil at a map of New Jersey. Today, Grover’s Mill is often referred to by the larger designation of West Windsor Township.
The broadcast fooled listeners on October 30, but the 75th anniversary celebrations start this weekend with various activities in Grover’s Mill.
