About Sayreville Historical Society

The Sayreville Historical Society, founded in 1974, aims to preserve, study, and share the history of Sayreville and the surrounding region. Its museum occupies an 1885 brick schoolhouse that has been its home since 1984 and holds more than five thousand artifacts. The society also produces books, DVDs, and pamphlets, records oral histories with residents, assists with genealogical research, and moderates YouTube and Facebook pages. Membership is open to anyone, and monthly meetings feature a guest speaker.
