“To civilize this degenerate people [of Africa], to change their ignorance into knowledge, their horrible superstition into a right of understanding of the Christian Religion, their treachery into good faith, and their slothfulness into industry, are among the results contemplated by the proposed Plan of the American Colonization Society.”

Robert Field Stockton
Addressing the New Jersey Colonization Society, July 14, 1824

Bell Telephone Laboratories, American Telephone & Telegraph (AT&T) and Western Electric employed tens of thousands of New Jersey residents through its 100-year tenure in the state. From high-flying linemen risking their safety atop telephone poles, to women trained to connect calls across the country, to the world’s leading engineers answering logistical questions of communication, New Jerseyans from all walks of life supported the ground-breaking technology of the company.

In Nature’s Realm: The Art of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh

February 19, 2021–January 9, 2022

Morven Museum & Garden is proud to present the first exhibition examining the work of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh (1856–1915). Born in New Brunswick, the great-great-grandson of Reverend Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh (1736–1790), the first president of Queens College (Rutgers University), Hardenbergh was a self-taught artist and ornithologist. Hardenbergh’s work provides a special glimpse into the Garden State on the brink of rapid development.
