Heritage Museum at Meadow Breeze Park
The Heritage Museum at Meadow Breeze Park, which includes a Morris Canal Room, is open from 1-4 p.m. with free admission the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.
The Morris Canal RoomThe Morris Canal (1824-1924) provided an outlet to markets for farms, manufactures and mines and so helped to fuel the industrial revolution. The canal linked Pennsylvania’s coal fields with New Jersey’s iron industry and New York’s commercial markets.
The Morris Canal was an engineering marvel and champion mountain climber that passed through our backyard on its 102-mile journey from Phillipsburg to Jersey City. Construction tools and methods were primitive; the pick, shovel and wheelbarrow, with horse and wagon, were the main tools. Find out what made the canal unique in the world.
