That Piscataway is home to the “First 4th,” the site of first national Fourth of July celebration, is always a source of pride.  Now Piscataway will be able to showcase our role in history throughout the year with the new Forever the 4th Gallery at the Metlar-Bodine House Museum.

Construction has begun on this new $1.3 million annex that will house the Ross Hall Wall, the last remaining artifact from the July 4, 1778 ball held by General George Washington at the 1742 Ross Hall mansion which once stood on River Road.  The Ross Hall Wall was designated an “American Treasure” by the National Park Service.
