Vernon Township Historical Society
Founded in 1970, the Vernon Township Historical Society has been instrumental in the preservation and protection of many historic sites, archives, and other resources. The Society consists of a 13-member Board of Trustees, a president, vice-president, corresponding secretary, recording secretary, treasurer, curator, and membership. The Society meets once a month on the third Friday at 7 p.m. at the Senior Citizen Center on Church Street in the municipal building. The public is invited to attend and is encouraged to join the society.
The Society is also instrumental in preserving and protecting historical sites. Vernon Township has two sites that are listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, both of which the Society was instrumental in nominating and preserving.
The Society maintains an office in the Vernon Township Municipal Building on Church Street in Vernon and a museum at 174 Barrett Road, Highland Lakes. The museum is open on weekends during the summer and by appointment. The office is open by appointment. The Society also maintains the one-room schoolhouse on Price’s Switch Road in Vernon and sponsors educational programs in Vernon Township Schools. All of our members are volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation of our historic and cultural resources and in educating the public on Vernon Township’s history.
