Nutley Historical Society Nutley Historical Society is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serve the educational, cultural and historical needs of our community.

The society operates the Nutley Museum which includes items reflecting past residents including Annie Oakley. History of the Nutley Historical Society

In 1945, a group of local citizens established the Nutley Historical Society to collect, preserve and diffuse historical material associated with the history and genealogy of the people and Township of Nutley. One of the society's early projects wa

s to restore the "Church Street School" to house a town museum. This school, built in 1875, is now on the National Register of Historic Places. With community support, society membership, and grants, we are able to maintain this historic building and museum gallery. The society's Board of Directors meet regularly on the third Thursday evening of each month to ensure the viability and continued growth of the organization. Our general membership gathers on a quarterly basis for special lectures and other events.

Nutley Historical Society Presents 'A Walk in the Park'

Nutley’s Memorial Day Weekend activities will kick off on Saturday, May 23, with the Nutley Historical Society’s “A Walk in the Park.” Museum director John Simko will lead the tour, which begins at 10:00 a.m. in Memorial Park at the WWI monument near the train trestle.

The tour will travel along the Yantacaw River as Mr. Simko shares its role in Nutley’s history as a source for early industry, an inspiration for world-renowned artists, a symbol of civic pride, an important boundary marker, and a fitting memorial to our war veterans.

“A Walk in the Park” is scheduled to end at 11:30 at Nutley’s first brick schoolhouse (now the Nutley Historical Society and Museum). The museum will be open to the public, and tour-related items from the museum’s archives will be on display. Please join us at the Nutley Museum (65 Church Street) at 11:30 Sunday morning, even if you are not part of the tour.

“A Walk in the Park” is free; however, the tour is limited to 15 people and requires registration.

To register, email [email protected] or call 973-752-8984 and leave a message with your phone number or e-mail address. Confirmation will be sent out via e-mail, text, or phone.
