Historic Force Homested

This place opens from 2-4pm on Jul-4 and every Sunday of the second week of a month, except the winter months(probably Dec to Feb). It looks humble outside, but surprisingly well kept inside. The house is the headquarter of Livingston historical society. They have an interesting collection of farm tools, elegent dresses, dolls, centry old cribs, quilts and coloniel furnitures. These stuff were not made to show off grand fortune. Instead they relay us to the warmth of a settler' farm home, their hard but diligent life, their authentic taste of art, beauty and happiness. The warm hearted historic society vilunteers offer guided tour on opening days. No ticket is required, but donation is certainly welcomed to keep this place up and running. This place is a few steps away from the Livingston library. More local history material can be found in the library, too.

An excellent museum to visit. You will learn a lot of local history at this National Historic Site. Just check in the local paper, the West Essex Tribune, or try to find info online because the house only opens a handfull of times a year. I toured the morning of July 4th. Also large groups can call ahead to book tours another time.
