In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the renaming of the town to “Old Bridge,” and the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Old Bridge Public Library aims to create a piece of history of our own.
We’re looking for members of our community to share their favorite Old Bridge memories for inclusion in a community memory book!
Did you spend weekends at Raceway Park and captured those moments in photos? Do you have a treasured family recipe made with fruit picked from Old Bridge farms? Perhaps you have a story, photograph, tradition, or memory that reflects life in Old Bridge through the years.
We’d love to hear from you! Help us preserve the stories, experiences, and traditions that make Old Bridge special by sharing your memories with us.
