Nannygoats is the Newsletter of the Metuchen-Edison Historical Society. Containing stories, research, and photographs of the history of this area.
The name of the newsletter "Nannygoats" is taken from the title of a collection of anecdotes, articles, reminiscences, and letters compiled by photographer, and collector of local history, J Lloyd Grimstead. He took more than 2,800 photographs of the Metuchen-Edison area, mostly in the 1930's. The Society dedicates this publication to Lloyd Grimstead as a way of honoring him for collecting and recording so much of our local history.
