First-Ever Woodbridge Town Museum Nears Completion

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — The interior is now finished at the first-ever Woodbridge Township Museum.

The Woodbridge Museum is not yet open to the public, but after months of renovations, the fact that the interior is now finished is a big deal. Woodbridge Twp. held a ribbon cutting inside the historic home this past Saturday, Oct. 28.

The Historical Association of Woodbridge is aiming for a spring 2024 opening, said president Daniel D'Arcy. That is when the museum will be open to the public for tours.

The Woodbridge Museum — also called the Woodbridge History House — is located at 86 Green Street in the heart of historic Woodbridge proper. The Historical Association of Woodbridge opened the museum and will curate it, with funding for the museum provided by the Township.

Their first exhibit will be about the owners of 86 Green Street and their connections with key aspects of Woodbridge Township history.

Originally known as Woodbridge Avenue, Green Street was a popular thoroughfare from the early 1800s and served as the address of many prosperous and prominent Woodbridge citizens. Perhaps named for the adjacent green fields and canopy of stately trees, incredibly the scenery on Green Street has not changed much in the past 100 years, with today’s elegant Victorian-era homes occupied by a mix of families and business offices.

And Green Street is now home to Woodbridge's first-ever museum.
