The
Jersey Explorer Children's Museum in East Orange, New Jersey is
one of the first nonprofit children's museum in the nation to
showcase true-to-life interactive displays that are the
outstanding handiwork of at-risk children. The Youth Corps
members that work at the museum gain on-the-job training, along
with interpersonal and developmental skills that will definitely
help them as the get ready for their high school equivalency
diplomas, reaching more than 19,000 children that live in the
inner cities of East Orange, Elizabeth, Newark, Jersey City,
Orange, Irvington and the region around them. Because of the
influence shown by the wonderful staff at the museum, these area
youths have been empowered to seek and achieve the finest
quality of life that is possible for them. The excellent
exhibits that are shown here include; the Tomb of the Ancient
Kings, Arts and Crafts, Time Traveler, changing exhibits,
Stargazer, Main St. Village and WJEX-TV. Other special
presentations include scienceworks, magic carpet and off the
page theater, that will surely interest and thrill your children
when they come here to enjoy something a little bit different,
but always exciting. 
The
Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange, New Jersey sits on 18 acres in the
South Mountain Reservation, that is part of the Essex County park
system and also the oldest park system in the nation. The zoo was
started in 1963, and originally was opened to showcase the animals
that are found in the state, and as the years passed, the zoo has
acquired more animal species that come from every continent in the
world, except Antarctica. The zoo is open all year long and is
located right next to the Richard J. Codey Arena where the New
Jersey Devils practice. The zoo took its name from a rock formation
that is located nearby, opened with a collection of 140 animals
representing 40 species, but by 1973, had grown to 850 animals that
represent 275 species. The Zoological Society of New Jersey was
created in 1975 to promote the zoo and also obtain funding, but even
with all this support, the zoo would fall into disrepair and almost
close in 1995. The zoo had to do something, so in 2000, they created
a master plan that would improve the zoo so that it could get its
accreditation back from the AZA. They would get about $20 million
for restoration and improvements between 2003 and 2006, including a
new animal hospital and a new 11,000 square foot entry and
administrative complex with a brand new 4000 square foot reptile
house, an auditorium and classrooms. Just a year ago in November,
2010, they broke their attendance record with more than 420,277
tickets sold since the beginning of the year. New additions include
Filipino "golden mantled" flying foxes which is the first time that
these types of bats have been shown in this nation; and an American
black bear exhibit: the Essex farm that houses normal farm yard
animals with a marvelous petting zoo, as well as a animal themed
playground. In 2006, the zoo's first indoor venue opened, with a
reptile house and education center and houses a pair of nine foot
long black dragons, a type of monitor lizard that had been
discovered in Malaysia in 2005 and hasn't gotten its scientific name
yet and are considered to be the only such dragons exhibited in the
world. In 2009, the gibbon habitat opened in a 11,000 square foot
outdoor mesh tent that houses two gibbons. Other venues include the
Turtle Back Zoo Safari Mini Golf course that opened in September,
2010, with 19 holes and many kinds of animal sculptures located
throughout the course. 
The
New Jersey Historical Society of Newark, New Jersey was started in
1845 in Trenton, by numerous business and intellectual leaders in
the state, however, the most important members being Peter D. Vroom,
Joseph C. Hornblower and William Whitehead. It was situated on
Market Street, but in 1931, it would leave the downtown area for a
bigger colonial style structure that had been partially paid for by
Louis Bamberger in Broadway, which lay east of the Branch Brook
Park. By 1997, the society would need more space and moved back to
downtown, to 52 Park Place, in Military Park, into the recently
emptied Essex Club's Georgian structure designed by Guilbert and
Betelle. That building was constructed in 1926 and added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1991; and during their first
year at the downtown location would increase their attendance by
five times. The society's library is located in the old squash
courts of the vacated Essex club with two floors of exhibition
space, a hall for lectures and a gift shop. The society will
occasionally offer walking tours of the area and it publishes the
academic journal, the New Jersey History. The second floor contains
the changing exhibits and the third floor houses the permanent
exhibitions that are showcasing the state's natural resources.
The
Kearny Museum in Kearny, New Jersey is a history museum containing
all the local exhibits about the town and its marvelous history,
with excellent collections of war memorabilia from the town's
history, photographs and articles of clothing; with special
attention given to Civil War hero, Major General Philip Kearny, Jr.
in whose honor the town was named. The museum houses all of the
Kearny high school yearbooks and staffed by volunteers that continue
to arrange the numerous exhibits and displays. The museum is located
on the upper floor of the main library building with one outstanding
relic that was given to General Kearny by Napoleon III of France, a
smoking chair, with original blue velvet upholstery, silk fringe and
exquisitely carved back with cigar motif. The hinged cigar box on
the chair's back is also upholstered in the blue velvet and acts
like an armrest. This magnificent chair is the only one of its kind
in the nation, with one other beautiful example showcased in the
Paris museum. The chair was used by Kearny in his home at Belle
Grove, that is better known as the Kearny Castle. It was
magnanimously donated by his granddaughter, Virginia Livingston Hunt
and his second wife, Agnes Maxwell Kearny. Virginia's high regard
for the late Harold Latham and his avid interest in her grandfather
would become the motivation that prompted her to donate the chair to
the city that bears his name in 1968, after having been located in
the Traphagen Museum Collection.
The
Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center has become the New York
metropolitan area's premier sports education center, after opening
in 1998 to confer Yogi's outstanding values, his extraordinary
accomplishments and lifelong commitment to the education of
America's youth, which have become the inspiration and foundation of
the center. The first visitors to the center would come from the
Bradford Academy, with both teachers and students coming here to
learn more about the man and America's favorite sport. The center is
the result of many friends and admirers of Yogi, that wanted to pay
tribute to his excellent career and marvelous life. Situated on the
campus of the Montclair State University, the fastest growing and
second biggest university in the state of New Jersey, next to Yogi
Berra Stadium, home to the minor-league New Jersey Jackals and
Montclair State Red Hawks. The center is an interesting and exciting
walk through the history of baseball, the New York Yankees and
Yogi's own outstanding career. The center and museum house a great
number of relics that include historic photographs and artifacts,
including Yogi's 10 world championship rings, which is still the
most rings of any ball player in baseball history. The intimate
theater housed there, resembling a ballpark, shows films during the
museum's open hours and is used as a venue for public programming
and a classroom. The students that attend the university, as well as
faculty, have been active in the programs and educational forums
that have been hosted by the museum, since Yogi and his wife,
Carmen, have been longtime associates of the college. They gave him
a doctorate in humanities in 1996, and like another Yankee roommate,
Bobby Brown, Yogi was also a doctor, playing one on TV in the early
1960s, coming on as a cameo role brain surgeon for General Hospital.
There are many marvelous exhibits located there, and they often have
special exhibitions, like the recent book signing of Jane Leavy's
biography of the blond haired bomber called, Mickey Mantle. Yogi's
story is one of overcoming and perseverance, going from a barefoot
sandlotter to one of the best catchers and clutch hitters in the
history of baseball. Yogi would become the anchor for the New York
Yankees dynasty that lasted from the late 1940s until the mid 1960s,
becoming a 15-time All Star and winner of 10 world championships; as
well as the three-time Most Valuable Player winner. He would be
elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972, and a member of the
Major League Baseball's All-Century Team. When he became manager of
both New York teams, he would become the first man in more than 40
years to win pennants in both leagues, with the Yankees in 1964, and
the Mets in 1973. Yogi has been quoted more than the majority of
poets, and his colloquial one-of-a-kind observations made him one of
the main contributors to the national repository of wisdom; with
such quotes as "it ain't over 'til it's over" and "when you come to
a fork in the road, take it". Yogi was also well known for his
selflessness and to giving generously of his time to the many youth
organizations and charitable causes of the region. His story is not
one of the forefront, being overshadowed by the personages of Joe
DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle or Roger Maris, but he was more feared by
pitchers than all three. He was an extraordinary man and baseball
player, still giving even after he had left us. A true American hero
that never used or had time for the numerous drugs and other added
pumped up benefits that many ballplayers of today use or take, but
just a willingness and determination that comes from a good heart
and outstanding spirit. Yogi Berra was and still is one of the
greatest baseball players of all time and when visiting the Big
Apple, be sure to look in on this magnificent monument to his
prowess and personality. 
The
Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey is dedicated to raising the
awareness and cultural experience of the community through
exhibitions, educational programs and performances in a creative
environment that uses all the museum's resources that includes a
permanent collection. Pieces that had been collected for the
Morristown Neighborhood House would become the nucleus of the
museum's collections, while education has become an intrinsic part
of the program. As early as 1927, the massive collections filled
seven rooms and took up the entire first floor of the Neighborhood's
house annex, and from 1938 to 1956, the museum took up space at the
Maple Avenue School that encouraged staff to create and enhance
programs for children and to begin relationships with the area's
schools. It was incorporated in 1943, and started their marvelous
outreach program in 1950 with many in-school presentations for the
county's students, as well as offering talks about the Native
American culture. By 1963, the museum had again outgrown its spaces,
and it would acquire the Twin Oaks, the former Peter H. B.
Frelinghuysen family estate. Peter had been a banker and lawyer, the
grandson of Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, the secretary of state under
President Chester Arthur. Currently, this outstanding Georgian style
mansion is the heart of the museum's exhibition spaces and because
of all the successful capital campaigns, the museum has been able to
expand the exhibit spaces. In 1970, more gallery space would be
added with a 312 seat theater addition, and in 1990, the museum's
growing complex was able to add another large amount of square feet
so that now its encompasses 75,524 square feet. The museum houses
about 48,700 pieces that include; fine art, costumes, geology and
paleontology, anthropology and natural science specimens, toys,
dolls and textiles. These excellent pieces are put into the many
permanent and changing exhibitions that the museum hosts.
