About the Society


The Cranford Historical Society was founded in 1927 by a small group of Cranford citizens interested in preserving the town's unique history. Since then, the Society has been dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of Cranford's history. Our collection today includes photographs, scrapbooks, glass negatives, furniture, tools, kitchen and farm implements, Native American artifacts, costumes, books, letters and numerous other artifacts related to Cranford and its citizens. We continue to collect and document Cranford's history as it enters the 21st century.

The Society exists through the help and generosity of its members. Membership is comprised of average citizens who have a common interest in preserving the past. There is no paid staff, with the exception of a part-time office manager. Members and trustees perform all Society and museum functions.
