**The newest addition to the museum’s permanent collection is a Federal period linen press built by Matthew Egerton, Jr., a late 18th

century New Brunswick joiner and cabinetmaker. Worth noting is that when an artifact is accessioned into the museum’s permanentcollection, it becomes the property of Piscataway Township (i.e., its residents). Three generations of Egertons were furniture makers inNew Brunswick from the 1760s to 1838 and were highly sought after for their beautifully made desks, cradles, tables, sideboards,bookcases, clock cases, and more. The Egerton’s shop and house was located on Burnet Street, near the Raritan River.○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
