Description

Welcome to Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University, home of New Jersey’s first elected governor and signer of the Constitution, William Livingston. Built in 1772, on the eve of the American Revolution, Liberty Hall has been a silent witness to more than 200 years of American history.

Over the last two centuries, the originally designed 14-room Georgian Style home has grown into a 50-room Victorian-style mansion. The site houses extensive collections of antique furniture, ceramics, textiles, toys and tools owned by seven generations of Livingston and Kean families.

Ancestors of the Livingston/Kean families have included Governors, U.S. Congressmen and Senators, business entrepreneurs, and pioneering women with vision and strength. The stories of their lives, passed down from generation to generation, tell how this family met the challenges of a changing nation.

Reviews

The Museum itself is very cool for anyone interested in Georgian era and all around antique artifacts and information. But it was a little confusing to find the building at first, and the tour experience was a bit lacking in the “tourist” aspect. There’s no real way to sit and enjoy the garden and you’re kind of left waiting in the gift shop until they have enough people there to start the tour. The buildings were very cool and the guide gave a lot of fun information! It would’ve been nice to have the option of taking some photos in certain areas with your group. We did however enjoy ourselves and actually went back to considering getting married there. Unfortunately, there really is no AC or a way to control the temperature in the carriage house, which is the only other space usable if you don’t want the outdoor tent. The actual Museum House is not an option and the bathrooms were more along the lines of park bathrooms. We had a nice time at the Museum and the gardens are very beautiful, but in all it would be nice to elevate the experience.

THIS PLACE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL, VERY NOSTALGIC,  THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE SO NICE AND HELPFUL,  MY FAMILY WENT TO THE MUSEUM TO BUILD GINGER BREAD HOUSES,  AND SHOPPED IN THE GIFT SHOP, WE ENJOYED OUR SELVES VERY MUCH SO, WE ARE FROM NEW YORK, WE TOOK THE N.J.T THEN HOPPED IN AN UBER THE REST OF THE WAY, THE TRAIN RIDE WAS ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR AND THE  CAB RIDE WAS ABOUT 15 MINUTES  OR LESS BUT THE EXPERIENCE FOR MY DAUGHTER  WAS WORTH IT , YOU PAY PER PERSON BUT WE DIDN'T  GET SEPERATE GINGER BREAD HOUSE'S  BUT WE PAID SEPARATE FEES  PER PERSON  I DIDNT LIKE THAT OR UNDERSTAND  THAT, BUT WE STILL ENJOYED OUR SELVES, DESPITE THE FACT

We went during the Four Centuries Weekend and it was included in the brochure as one of the sites for self-guided tour. We went to walk the grounds and were approached by a woman who asked us how we got there? We showed her the brochure and she told us we needed to leave immediately bc they were rehearsing for a play and we were NOT allowed even though it was on the brochure. She walked us out to our car!

Nice slice of 18th Century America history—and just a 50 minute drive from Brooklyn, NY. Beautiful grounds. Wonderful collection of decorative arts, painting, prints, and ephemeral material fro the Livingston and Kean families. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and very charming! Highly recommend this place.

Loved it...even on a really hot day. Robert was extremely knowledgeable about the gardens and the mansion. He was also funny which made the tour more enjoyable.  We were accompanied by two docents in training who added to the tour. I would like to go back in cooler weather!!

This a very special place. Absolutely amazing to see the actual furniture and belongings and how the families lived throughout the years. Both the house and gardens are beautiful. Tour was excellent.

What a great tour!  Our guide was Sandra, who made the tour so very interesting with all her knowledge of the Livingston, Kean, et. al. families. We loved touring the grounds, the firehouse and the residence with Sandra.

Interesting house tour with original furniture from house owners. Beautiful grounds and orchard.
