The Edison Greenways Group, Inc. (EGG) a local non-profit land trust, has been doing tours and cleanups of the Piscatawaytown Burial Ground since 1995.

During the COVID 19 shutdown of 2020, we were not able to do our tours or cleanups, so the organization worked on, applied for and received a grant from Middlesex County to do a Ground Penetrating Radar Study of 10 areas of the Piscatawaytown Burial Ground, and Commons, in Edison in 2021.

While we did not receive the full amount of the grant, we requested we were able to modify the project to accomplish the main task of the project, the GPR survey.

Attached here is the Piscatawaytown Burial Ground GPR Project Report PDF presented in October 2021 by the Edison Greenways Group.

The project was coordinated and supervised by the Edison Greenways Group, Walter Stochel Jr., who has coordinated previous studies of the Burial Ground and Commons, and coordinated the study of the Short Hills Battlefield, and Robert Takash, President of EGG has supervised many projects for the organization, and lives next to the Burial Ground.

Grant Funding has been provided by the Middlesex County Board of Commissioners through a grant award from the Middlesex County Cultural and Arts Trust Fund. 5/2021
