About
The Martin Berry House One of the oldest homes in Pequannock Township is the circa 1720 Martin Berry House. The house has been preserved and cared for by the present owner for nearly 50 years. Many township groups have had the opportunity to virtually tour the house and artifacts. The township has purchased this property to preserve it for future generations, both as a House museum and meeting space. Our current museum space is very limited to tell the story of our over 300 year history.
Museum
The Commission operates the Pequannock Township Museum, which presents physical artifacts, pictures and other items displaying the rich history of the township. The museum is open the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from Noon until 3 p.m. It is also open by appointment and for special events. Contact the Commission directly for any information.
Donations of original or copies of material relating to the history of Pequannock are always appreciated. Anyone interested in volunteering to help staff the twice monthly openings of the museum should contact the Commission.
