The Township’s Revolution 250 celebration is 3 weeks away!

The Osborn Cannonball House located at 1840 Front Street, got its name after a cannonball accidently hit the house during the American Army retreat from the 1777 Battle of Short Hills. The Historical Society of Scotch Plains and Fanwood New Jersey helps to preserve the Cannonball House and will be sponsoring activities on June 26 such as a stonecutter, weaving, and spinning yarn on the Alan M. Augustine Village Green.
