Museum of Early Trades & Crafts, Madison

Amazing place in Madison NJ! Must see! Building itself is piece of art. Exhibits are very interesting and educational not only for kids but for adults too. A lot of exhibits are hands on. Staff is wonderful! So pleasant and helpful. I don't recall such a good trade collection even in New York museums. Worth to spend money on admission.

A small but mighty museum that focuses on the people who literally built New Jersey, the skilled trades & crafts people. When you are surrounded by so many political historical sites & museums, this is a breath of fresh air to shift your thoughts to the real, everyday Americans. They also constantly ask the questions that make you think, "Are there ways that *I* do things that make a difference to the community around me?" The information is presented so beautifully that one could walk through and not even notice the stunning 1899 building. This was a library?! Wow! You just need to go experience it yourself.
