The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society Museum is currently undergoing a significant transition as our curator of the past 13 years has retired.
During this period of change, the VHAS Board of Trustees kindly asks for your patience and understanding. We're working hard to ensure a smooth transition, but this means we will not have steady operating hours for the time being.
To stay updated on special events, open houses, and any changes to our operating hours, we encourage you to visit our website, follow us on social media, or sign up for our email newsletter. Additionally, if you have any inquiries or would like to schedule a visit, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
If you enjoy history and love sharing knowledge with others, consider becoming a docent for the Society's educational program. In the spring, all of Vineland's fourth grade students will have the opportunity to visit the museum, where they will be immersed in the town's amazing past. You will be trained before the program starts so contact us at vhasedprogram@gmail.com if you're interested in getting involved. We look forward to hearing from you!
The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society is the oldest local historical society in New Jersey and its museum is the oldest purpose-built museum in the state. The Society is dedicated to collecting and preserving artifacts and records related to Vineland and the South Jersey region, and to sharing that material with visitors through exhibits, programs and other appropriate venues. Vineland has a rich, culturally-diverse past that is reflected through our collections. To learn more, please contact us or make an appointment to visit. Researchers are welcome but appointments are required at least ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE OF YOUR VISIT to ensure that needed resources are available. There is a $10 charge for non-members to use the research library. (Pictured at left: The reading room of Vineland's first museum, c. 1890s)

The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society is an independent, non-profit organization that receives no ongoing financial support from any government or outside organization. We rely on the generous donations and grants from our community. Thank you for helping us preserve and share our rich history!
Our facility does have a ramp for easy access to the lower level. However, we currently have just one small restroom and no elevator access to the second floor. We hope to secure funding for future improvements, including an elevator.
