The Bordentown Historical Society is a private, non-profit organization originally formed in 1930. Our group is made up of volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the history of Bordentown for future generations. We are dedicated to maintaining our society’s sites, museum, artifacts and archives. We accomplish this through collecting, preserving, interpreting and teaching the rich and intricate history of Bordentown.

Our society’s activities are made possible through individual contributions, grants, foundations, and government agencies; and earned income. The largest single source of income for the Society is annual membership fees and programs such as our Home and Garden Tours.
