From New Jersey.com: American Revolution Association receives $10,000 grant

Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, an historical nonprofit organization, has received a $10,000 grant to support national heritage areas tied to the Revolutionary War.

The grant comes from the J. Seward Johnson Sr. 1963 Charitable Trust, which provides funds to New Jersey nonprofit groups with an emphasis on civic, cultural and educational programs in Princeton and New Brunswick.

“We are grateful to the J. Seward Johnson Sr. Trust for their ongoing and generous support,” said Cate Litvack, executive director of the association. “This grant will be leveraged dollar-for-dollar through the National Park Service’s federal matching funds for National Heritage Areas.”

Crossroads helps preserve historic properties and supports historical education and tourism.

New Jersey’s heritage area includes 213 cities and towns and sites such as Princeton Battlefield State Park and the Old Barracks in Trenton.
