===========================================

FrugalNJ recently visited the Hamilton House Museum, an 18th century dutch homestead located in Clifton which has more than 200 years of history. Each of the six rooms is furnished to represent different eras of American history and the exhibits reflect that. The house belonged to the Van Wagoner family and was later purchased by the Hamilton family in 1856. It remained with the family until 1970 when the house was eventually moved to its current location in Valley Road. The museum is a great place for children of all ages to learn how people used to live in earlier times. For more information about the house and the various programs offered by the museum, visit the official website here.
