roebling museum印象

Not to long after I moved to Roebling this muesum opened. It is not big but I think we easily killed an hour there, and I usually get bored at muesums pretty fast. It was cool to see how the town was built for the employees at the steel mill. I was not aware that this small town was filled with so much history. Worth a stop if your touring the Riverline since it is LITERALLY right next to the station.

Visited this museum and watched the introductory film. Then a member of the staff gave a personal history of his involvement with the community of Roebling and of the museum--actually the best part of the day! They have artifacts that you can touch, and an informative exhibit about the Roebling legacy in both their steel wire and the community of workers they created.

Went there on on a Sunday while the Eagles were playing, so visiting was light. Located just south of Trenton. Lots of personal information on the family history and the projects they built. bridges such as the Golden gate and most of current NYC bridges. Their "wire rope' was also used for the elevators in the Empire state building. There is a short 20 minute film narrated by family members as an orientation.They even made the Slinky!

Next week it opens another room. This is the history of cables for the Golden Gate Bridge. If the Brooklyn Bridge is not impressive, maybe the GG will get you thinking. The other reviewers have said most of what i would be typing.The town is on a stop of the NJ Transit Riverline so you can start in Camden or Trenton and ride a cool little train.

The museum has been lovingly renovated and well thought-out. Volunteers who staff the museum are friendly and have great information, as many of them have a personal connection to the town. It's a very unique slice of history and worth a visit!

We've toured the museum twice....LOVE IT!!!Mr. George Lengel does a wonderful job. He lives and breathes Roebling air.

This small museum is dedicating to the interpretation of 3 Roeblings: the engineering genius of John A. Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, and that of his eldest son, Washington, builder of the Brooklyn Bridge; the company town of Roebling, N.J., laid out by another son, Charles; and the Roebling family. The museum is housed in the forner gatehouse to the mill, on one edge of the company town. Large elements of the demolished factory are on display in the millyard.Inside, the permanent exhibit is a winner -- beautifully designed and full of information and great pictures. There's an exhibit on the company town and one on the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as one on Washington Roebling's Union Army service in the Engineer Corps.This is an impressive small museum, well put together and with plenty to interest families. One bonus: It's acessible by NJTransit light rail (the River Line, which runs between Trenton and Camden), a low-cost & attractive form of transport. Staff & volunteers were friendly & helpful, most residents.

I have the opportunity to photograph in the Roebling Museum Park on a day it was not open to the public. I did not know all the history of this area.

In two words this is a "little gem" It covers the history of the company / family that built the Brooklyn Bridge and supplied the steel wire and engineering for many other projects. The museum is physically small but is very well designed with excellent displays. The staff is very knowledgeable, not only about the subjects covered by the museum but where to get a "Trenton style tomato pie" (Pizza).
