Paul Ligeti of West Windsor created the West Windsor Historic Bike Trail for his Boy Scout Eagle project. Representatives from the town, historical society, and scout officials attended the ribbon cutting held on July 30 at South Mill and Village roads, West Windsor. The trail includes descriptive markers in front of historically important sites in the township. Ligeti is a rising senior at High School North and a member of Troop 66.
The trail, in both its online and physical forms, is a culmination of two years of planning, research, and execution. Combining his love of biking and deep interest in local history, Ligeti presented a brief history of the town, as well as a gallery of photos of the sites along the route.
The stops include Dutch Neck Presbyterian Church, the Schenck Farmstead and Museum, Ladyfaire, Berrien City, Widow Bergen’s Tavern, Grovers Mill of “The War of the Worlds” fame, and homes that served as Underground Railroad stops. The trail ride takes close to two hours. Maps are available at Dutch Neck Park. Visit wwhistoricbiker.weebly.com for information.
