New Jersey Museum of Agriculture building

The New Jersey Museum of Agriculture's mission is to tell the story of the Garden State's agriculture - past, present, and future. Centrally located off U.S. 1 and College Farm Road in North Brunswick, the Museum contains permanent and changing exhibits about the evolution of agriculture in New Jersey.

The 30,000 square foot facility is active throughout the year with programming that showcases the people, products, and ingenuity that established, and will continue to position, New Jersey as a leader in agriculture.

Established as an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization in 1984, the New Jersey Museum of Agriculture opened to the public in 1990.
