Originally the lower farm of Archibald Douglas Russell’s 274-acre Edgerstoune Estate, at the turn of the 20th century the property stretched from beyond Rosedale Road all the way to the King’s Highway, now called Route 206. The land now known as Greenway Meadows Park was purchased by General Robert Wood Johnson in 1949.
Through an innovative collaboration spearheaded by D&R Greenway Land Trust, the 60-acre property was permanently preserved in 2001. Public and private partners encompassed a broad community including the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program, Mercer County, Princeton Township, Princeton Borough, Friends of Princeton Open Space, Bristol-Myers Squibb and dozens of individuals and families.
