The New Jersey State Museum will participate with Museum Day Live on Saturday, September 22! This year, we will celebrate women's history through hands-on maker-spaces and workshops.

Volunteers are considered representatives of the New Jersey State Museum, and will assist with workshops and activities, supply information to visitors, general information, and provide event support.
