Located on the grounds of the historic National Guard Training Center, The National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey (NGMMNJ) in Sea Girt is dedicated to preserving and explaining the military history of New Jersey. For over 40 years the museum has collected, preserved and displayed artifacts with specific historical relevance to the New Jersey National Guard. The museum presents the role of the

New Jersey Militia and National Guard within the context of the larger history of the state, using original and reproduction uniforms, weapons, photographs, artifacts and art from the period of Dutch, Swedish and British colonization through the War for Independence, Civil War and World Wars I and II, the Global War on Terrorism to the present day. Parking for the NGMMNJ is located directly before the entry gate to the National Guard Training Center (NGTC) in Sea Girt at Sea Girt Avenue and Camp Drive. The Museum is also home to the Center for US War Veterans’ Oral History Project which contains over 600 interviews and records of local veterans of all branches from the Mexican Punitive Expedition to current day. In conjunction with the Library of Congress, veteran interviews are conducted and summarized for submission to the Veterans History Project. For more information or to access the collection, contact Assistant Curator Carol Fowler. We also feature a second standalone site, the Lawrenceville Field Artillery Annex, located on the grounds of the Lawrenceville DMAVA campus. Featuring over a dozen artillery pieces and armored vehicles, the Annex's mission is to present and explain the importance of New Jersey Artillery throughout history, as well as the unique military story of the Trenton area.
