Step back into time at EJOTV’s History Day! This event will feature local, state, and national historical organizations across the County, and beyond. Stop by the History Tent to experiment with one of Thomas Edison’s many inventions!

Immerse yourself in art, culture, craftsmanship, and architecture as our historical interpreters bring history to life! Enjoy home & hearth demonstrations, traditional musical performances, wagon rides, children’s crafts, stone carving, and our 19th century print shop! With a dedicated children’s area and a historical tavern, there is fun for guests of all ages. Swing by the general store for some snacks and souvenirs; and visit local food trucks 5 Star Food Shuttle, PaciDough’s Pop-Up Pizzeria, Tacos Los Gueros, and Vine Ice Cream to round out your time traveling experience.

A limited selection of gourmet sandwiches, salads, house-made ranch chips, flavored lemonades and other snacks from The Food Architects are available in our gift shop on weekends and during large events. Selections and quantities may vary, so stop by often to see what’s available.

A FREE, accessible, on-demand shuttle bus operating between East Jersey Old Town and The Cornelius Low House is available for your convenience on weekends. Park in one spot, and experience both historic sites easily.
