A Modern Facelift: Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University Celebrates 15th Anniversary with Launch of New Website

UNION, N.J. – In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University announced today the launch of its new website: www.kean.edu/libertyhall.

“We spoke to our guests about what they wanted from our website, and worked together to create a site that showcased all that Liberty Hall Museum has to offer in a way that is user-friendly, aesthetically appealing and easy to navigate,” said Bill Schroh Jr., Director of Museum Operations for Liberty Hall. “This online facelift is important because the website is often a visitor’s first interaction with Liberty Hall Museum.”

Designed by web designers from Kean’s Office of University Relations, the website provides visitors with quick and easy access to information about the historic museum, as well as details on planning a visit, attending or hosting an event, and educational programming for children and adults of all ages. Visitors to the site can view the photo gallery, become a member, and learn about upcoming exhibitions. Drop-down menus, and the option to view the website on a desktop or mobile device, provide additional opportunities to explore the treasures of one of New Jersey’s best kept secrets.

Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University chronicles more than 240 years of American history. The museum houses extensive collections of furniture, ceramics, textiles, toys and tools owned by seven generations of the Livingston and Kean families. The Firehouse Museum, built in 2004, houses three antique fire engines, including a rare 1911 American LaFrance Metropolitan Steam Engine. The museum is currently open for tours Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., private events, and scheduled seasonal activities that can be found on the new website.
