“Uncovering Woodbridge History – A Public Archaeology Open House” took place in the Dunham House yard on Sept. 28-29, 2019. The archaeological dig was a project of the Middlesex County Office of Arts and History and the New Jersey Archaeological Society, along with Trinity Church and Monmouth University. Students from the County College of Morris also participated.
The results of the excavation and related historical research were compiled into a 450-page report, produced in September 2020. The report included previously unpublished details of a site study conducted by Monmouth University in 2002. Click here for the full report or below for sections.
