Please help support our Go Fund Me campaign with funds going to support the exterior repairs of our historic building. These repairs are not covered under other available grants.
Funding of the Meadowlands Museum is also supported in part through grant funds administered by the Bergen County Division of
Cultural and Historic Affairs, Department of Parks, through a General Operating Support grant from the New
Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State.
The Meadowlands Museum was grateful to be a recipient of a 2020 COVID-19 Response Grant from the NJ Council for the Humanities, which was made available through the CARES Act funding that was allocated through the NEH. This Grant covered some of the Museum's General Operating Expenses during the time of the COVID -19 pandemic.
