Princeton Junction, New Jersey - Water Tower Mistaken for a Martian

You can get a good look at the [1939 War of the Worlds] water tower from Bolfmar Avenue, a dead end street off Cranbury that runs adjacent to the right of the white house (the red Grovers Mill mentioned in a previous post is located to the left of the house). [Ann Carden, 12/01/2008]

It is reported on your site that the famed water tower thought to be a Martian Tripod War machine, on the night of the Orson Wells "Panic" broadcast was taken down. That's the one that local farmers shot at thinking it was Martian Tripod. I am pleased to state that it's still up! I was there in June of 2006, and if you slip behind the red barn, with the name, Grover's Mill, you can still see the water tower in a stand of trees. It's hard to make out. But it's still there. (Note: Don't hop the fence, the owner of the property doesn't like that. It is private property.) [Tom Cooley, 08/27/2006]
