About Washington Township Historical Society Museum

The Washington Township Historical Society works to preserve and share the history of Washington Township, New Jersey, and nearby areas. It was founded in 1960 by residents who wanted to save the 1774 Union Church ruins. Over the years the society has helped stabilize and restore other historic township structures, including the 1830 Union Schoolhouse. The site also lists a self-guided walking tour of historic township buildings, a membership program, and a blog.
