Museum of Early Trades & Crafts

Story

Housed in a 1900 Richardsonian-Romanesque Revival building listed on the National Register of Historic places, the Museum explores 18th- and 19th-century American history, with a focus on New Jersey. Drawing on its collection of over 8,000 hand tools and their products, METC uses material culture to interpret the lives and technologies of people who lived and worked before the rise of large-scale industrialization in this country. The Museum offers visitors of all ages a broad range of changing exhibits, and related programs that address many facets of early American history, craftsmanship, and the diversity of trades performed by men and women.

I am not a huge fan of museums and most mueseums are about historical stuff. This museum is my favorite in the historical meseum category. They can pull of historical stuff here. They have a lot of cool toys here from the early 20th century. They even let you touch select objects which makes this place fun. Since most museums do not let you touch things. I am happy this place is super close and a perfect way to learn about the old days.
