Visit or Tour Requests
Museum Galleries / Outdoor Displays
We welcome all to our museums in Sea Girt and Lawrenceville!
We host all sorts of visitors throughout the year, including schools, scouts, veteran organizations, civic groups, and military units. If you want to bring your group to learn more about New Jersey military history, please let us know your educational goals and we can help cater to your group.
Along with our galleries spanning over 350 years of New Jersey history, each museum site has a classroom space, projectors, wi-fi, and even outdoor seating for sunny days.
Docent-led tours through our galleries normally last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, but this can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Both sites have a wide variety of outdoor vehicle displays, including cannon and armored vehicles. However, special access (DoD ID, LEO ID, or escort) will be required to view the displays at Sea Girt, as they are located inside the gates of the National Guard Training Center. If you need an escort to view the vehicles, please let us know on the form below or when you arrive on site.
Off-Site / Online Learning
We can also deliver lessons to you at a site of your choosing. New Jersey military history is not confined to our walls and we can meet you at a monument, library, another museum, or even your unit’s armory.
Our lessons are not confined to in-person learning, either. We can provide video tours or lessons through any number of online platforms.
