Roebling Museum

One of NJ’s newest museums, the Roebling Museum opened in 2009 and sits on the seven-acre grounds of the former historic steel mill in Roebling, NJ. The museum interprets the seminal engineering innovations of the John A. Roebling’s Sons Company. By the early 20th century, the family purchased 115 acres for a new steel mill and entire town, including schools, tennis courts and baseball fields, for workers. Although the steel mill is now gone, the town remains nearly unchanged and is one of only a few existing examples of a company town. Tour the museum’s six exhibition galleries that highlight the contributions of the Roebling family and the companies they built.
