New Jersey is full of history, and there is so much to explore. As one of the original 13 colonies, its story dates back to the 1700s – and you can travel back in time at the Liberty Hall Museum. Located on the grounds of Kean University, it was a fourteen-room mansion that was once home to William Livingston, the first Governor of the Garden State. Since then, it’s played host to Supreme Court Justices, held court for Presidents, and saw multiple generations of New Jersey’s Kean political dynasty. But today, you don’t have to live there to explore it. It’s been turned into a beautiful museum and garden that anyone can visit for a stunning trip back ton New Jersey’s colonial era.
Hidden in one of New Jersey's most impressive universities is a house dating back to the 1700s - and you can go inside any time.
The fifty-room mansion is surrounded by a massive garden, and you can walk those beautiful greens at any time of day. It's one of the college's most peaceful locations.
