Inspiring citizens since 1792.
The New Jersey State House – discover the state’s most historic public building.
“I’ve been bringing my students here for nearly ten years.
It really helps to bring civics to life. The students always enjoy themselves
and come away with a better understanding of how government works.”
– A 4th-grade Teacher
“We decided on a spontaneous trip on a rainy Saturday and felt like we hit a gold mine.
Our entire family enjoyed seeing the building, learning more about our state,
and hearing more about how laws are made.”
– A New Jersey Resident
“We loved our visit to the State House.
The chambers were just amazing and our tour guide was great!
It was one of our favorite capitol visits.”
– A Capitol Collector
