50 Things 41 MUSEUM OF EARLY TRADES & CRAFTS The Museum of Early Trades & Crafts is a nationally recognized history museum in Madison with a mission to inspire a connection to New Jersey history, culture, trades and crafts. Housed in an architecturally stunning historic building, the museum’s focus is on education, but it is also committed to historic preservation. The museum has a collection of 18th- and 19th-century artifacts representing the history of New Jersey. The collection, with more than 8,900 objects, includes tools, textiles, pottery and archival materials representing the people who lived and worked in the state throughout the centuries. Featured throughout the museum’s galleries, the collection also plays an important part in special exhibits and educational programs. The exhibit “Working the Land” tells the stories of those men and women who lived in New Jersey during the early 1800s, exploring the tools and strategies that helped the people of the time meet the challenges of working the land. The main gallery features the exhibit “Journey Stories,” a collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. It explores how movement has shaped our nation’s history, from the earliest European settlers and Native American displacement to the effects transportation advancements have had on modern mobility. In 2022, after nearly four years of planning, the museum broke ground on construction of its new Viewable Storage Facility. Part of the museum’s strategic plan is to modernize its facility to accommodate increased visitors and ensure the long-term safety and sustainability of artifacts and archival materials. The project will enable visitors to observe the curatorial and collections staff at work in the collections area. One of the museum’s favorite events is its annual fundraising gala, the proceeds of which help provide free educational museum field trips to students throughout New Jersey, as well as lifelong learning programs for senior adults and specialized tours for organizations that serve individuals living with disabilities. This year’s speakeasy-themed benefit will take place on October 5 at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park. —JM 9 Main Street, 973-377-2982; metc.org THE BEE PROJECT ESCAPE From It All Adrenaline junkies, rejoice!
