The Meadowlands Museum

Mission: To preserving and educating the public about the regional history of New Jersey’s Meadowlands

The Meadowlands Museum is a non-profit, non-political center for the preservation and education of regional history.  It is operated by a volunteer staff and volunteer Board of Trustees, and it welcomes the efforts of all who are committed to discovering and preserving the unbiased history of New Jersey’s Meadowlands region, and helping to tell our multi-facetted story. Today the Museum works to link students of New Jersey Meadowlands history, young and old, to objects that can help them connect to and understand the history the Meadowlands area communities of today.

Each year, the Meadowlands Museum welcomes hundreds of children and adults, helping them connect to the historical and cultural sense of place that is the Meadowlands region. Founded in 1961 to connect school children with their community, the Museum continues the work that began with that single inspiration. The Meadowlands Museum relies on the ongoing support of the regional community, and this event is a great way to provide a little bit of that support.
