The National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey tells the story of the state’s Militia and National Guard beginning with Dutch, Swedish and British colonization through the War for Independence to the Civil War, World Wars I and II and up to the present day, paying particular attention to the diversity of the New Jersey citizen soldier and his or her experience. Notably, the museum has one of the largest collections of New Jersey related Civil War research material in the country, including copies of diaries, letters, newspaper clippings, memoirs, regimental histories and articles.
We are located at the National Guard complex on Eggert Crossing Road in Lawrenceville. Please enter through Gate #3 and pull straight forward to the security booth. The security guard will direct you to the Museum parking lot. Please have proper identification to present to the security guard.
