Located in the mill at Grovers Mill, this is ground zero for the landing of the Martians in Orson Well s 1938 radio play. Today, it is hard to imagine what could drive a nation of adults to mass hysteria. But in 1938, annihilation from outer space was still a relatively new concept. Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater put on one of the world's great hoaxes when they broadcast a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds the night before Halloween, October 30th. Twelve million people heard the fake "live news" broadcast, and many were convinced an attack from Mars was underway. The Martian landings were centered around the little-known but real town of Grovers Mill, near Princeton. The exact date of when Grovers Mill was built is unknown, though generally believed to be around 1750. It was added to other the years, reaching its present size by about 1900. It operated as an active grist mill through about 1960, and has seen a variety of uses since. Starting in 2016 we began a process of completely restoring and rebuilding the structure and converting it into 5 beautifully outfitted apartments giving one both a taste of history, and a completely modern and updated living environment. This apartment includes one bedroom, one full bath with walk-in tiled shower, kitchen, dining area, and living area, in-unit washer/dryer, and an energy efficient mini-split heating and cooling system. The bathroom features a ceramic tile floor, while the kitchen has high end vinyl tiles, with oak hardwood floors throughout the rest of the apartment.
