Come see how New Jersey earned the nickname, "The Garden State"!
The New Jersey Museum of Agriculture's mission is to tell the story of the Garden State's agriculture - past, present, and future. Centrally located off U.S. 1 and College Farm Road in North Brunswick, the Museum contains permanent and changing exhibits about the evolution of agriculture in New Jersey. The 30,000 square foot facility is active throughout the year with programming that showcases the people, products, and ingenuity that established, and will continue to position, New Jersey as a leader in agriculture. Established as an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization in 1984, the New Jersey Museum of Agriculture opened to the public in 1990.
The New Jersey Museum of Agriculture presents thematic weekend programs and workshops for families to participate in each month. The School Programs at the Museum educates thousands of school children throughout the year, many who come from urban and suburban areas. Historical artifacts are often used or demonstrated in each lesson. In addition to the weekend and school programs, the Museum offers an agriculturally themed summer camp for children ages 6 to 11.
The New Jersey Museum of Agriculture is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and on select Sundays for weekend programming. General admission is $4.00 for adults, $3.00 for seniors, and $2.00 for children ages 4 to 12. Museum Members and children 3 and younger are free. For more information, please call 732-249-2077. You can contact the Museum through email at info@agriculturemuseum.org or by FAX at 732-247-1035.
