Grover's Mill, New Jersey (now West Windsor Township, Princeton, NJ) has set up an official War of the Worlds website for information regarding anniversary celebrations of the 1938 Orson Welles Mercury Theatre broadcast. Grover's Mill, New Jersey was randomly selected as the site for the initial Martian cylinder, and with the fall of a finger on the map this small community was thrust into overnight fame. The site celebrates the 60th anniversary of the broadcast.
