Historic Preservation
Connecting with History was Super Fulfilling
Lois Gerstein • April 06, 2026
When I retired in 2020, I started looking around for volunteer opportunities in and around West Windsor. I remembered that decades before, my former next-door neighbor was an active member of the Historical Society of West Windsor. As a person who has always had a deep appreciation for all things historical, my interest was piqued. So, I followed up and started attending meetings.
The Historical Society of West Windsor has a wide array of activities: everything from being a docent at the farmstead, archiving, representing the Historical Society at local events, mentoring and helping restore the old gravestones at the Schenck Covenhoven Cemetery, which is the oldest cemetery in West Windsor, dating back to the Revolutionary War.
The most wonderful thing about being involved in the Historical Society of West Windsor is the be part of something bigger than yourself: to preserve history for future generations and to engage the surrounding communities to work together for a common interest.
