THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. During the American Revolution, many of the colonists who served in the Continental Army wore this style uniform while fighting for America’s independence. In addition to adding a decorative touch, the red heart on the lower portion of the uniform also served a functional purpose, providing support for an eyelet and loop that holds back the tails of the uniform. 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, and Middlesex County is celebrating this milestone in a big way! From historic exhibits at the Cornelius Low House and living history tours at the Revolutionary War-era East Jersey Old Town Village in Piscataway to the interactive Middlesex County History Guide and much more — there are so many ways to join the celebration! Visit middlesexcountynj.gov/250 for details on all the family fun.
