About Cranbury Museum

The Cranbury Museum occupies a house at 4 Park Place East that began as a small two-room home and grew over the decades. The Historical & Preservation Society bought it in 1972 and restored it with volunteer help. Its rooms are furnished largely with donated pieces from local families. Visitors can see basement displays of farm tools, early business memorabilia, and Lenape artifacts, along with a herb garden and a Victorian garden on the grounds. Rotating exhibits appear in the Perrine Wing.
