East Jersey Old Town Village (also spelled East Jersey Olde Towne Village) is an open-air museum located in Johnson Park in Piscataway, New Jersey. The Village is a collection of Raritan Valley area historic buildings and includes original, reconstructed, and replicated 18th and 19th century vernacular architecture typical of farm and merchant communities of Central Jersey.[1] It is home to a permanent exhibition about Raritan Landing, an 18th-century inland port once located just downstream on the river.[2] Since 1989, the Middlesex County Office of Arts and History has had responsibility for the village.[1]
