Best places: Local history museums in New Brunswick, United States

👍👍 Got the opportunity to visit this hidden gem this weekend. We were looking for something local and partially indoors due the the weather. I’ve lived in Scarsdale for 10 years and never heard of this delightful home in Irvington. If you are a fan of historic homes, or restored homes, or just intere...

😐 Place was closed. Reason we came here was for the static displays. Nice selection of acft.

Photos, maps & other artifacts trace NYC history from its 16th-century birth to the present day.

👍👍 Great little lighthouse. Only open on Sundays

👍 Cute small place. They have 6 rooms of things to view. The give you a speaker to who with they explains everything you see. They say the tour takes 30mins, it's really about 15mins. It's cool tho. They have a good gift shop. They also sell ugg products. I enjoyed it

👍👍 Fall Rendezvous and WWII weekends are fun. The "Rev War" is cool, and way uncrowded. Period actors and dedicated volunteers are all over. Food isn't great, but enough to keep you going. Mead and friendly folks make it a cultural must. Support local uniqueness!!!

Museum in a Georgian mansion that once served as George Washington’s Revolutionary War headquarters.

👍👍 Beautiful, well preserved and restored farmstead of Peter and Rosanna Wentz. They settled here in 1744 and moved into the new house in 1758. The interior of the home has decor and character in keeping with wealthier farmsteads. The home and barn are very large and there are many other smaller buildi...

Colonial-era Philadelphia mayor Samuel Powel's Georgian brick townhouse is now a historic landmark.

Historical house-turned-museum of a well-known African American inventor & electrical pioneer.

👍👍 A historical building that one might just walk on by, if not for the large historical plaques attached to the side, which harkens in its history. Fraunces Tavern served in many capacities during its history, but the one that made it most famous was when it served as the headquarters for George Washi...

👍👍 Beautiful park, a shame that the nature center will be gone soon due to administration cuts..a great service Jim Fazak gave to the public will with his expert knowledge of the park and all its creatures. Sad that no one truly care about our national parks anymore.

Quirky storefront museum that's filled with New York City artifacts & hosts annual cultural events.

One of the largest historical society museums in the country, with 6 galleries on area history.

👍👍 I rarely write reviews but I had to share my experience at Coll’s. In a word, amazing! There is a huge collection of frames, and Brian was genuinely interested in helping us find the perfect frames for our artwork. He made some great suggestions and we are thrilled with the final results. Also, less...
