Liberty Hall Museum chronicles more than 200 years of New Jersey and U.S. history. It was the home of William Livingston, the first elected governor of New Jersey and a signer of the Constitution, and houses extensive collections of antique furniture, ceramics, textiles, toys and tools owned by seven generations of the Livingston/Kean families. In 2005, Liberty Hall added the Firehouse to the Museum's complex. It contains a 1928 American LaFrance Pumper, a 1927 Seagrave Pumper, and an extensive display of fire helmets, uniforms, bells, tools, documents, and photographs. Liberty Hall's 23 landscaped acres contain a formal English garden, a fruit orchard and some of the oldest trees in the state |
