The Historical Society of Westfield New Jersey was created in 1968 by a group of citizens interested in history and preservation. We have restored the Reeve House, at 314 Mountain Ave, as headquarters for the Society and the future home of the Archives.
We are in the process of making the site a History and Cultural Center, with public access to the Archive Collection. The Society has embarked on a fund-raising campaign to continue the restoration of the house and construct a new Archive building, constructed a carriage house where the Archives will be displayed and presented to the public as a research center.
The circa-1740 Miller-Cory House was acquired by the Society in 1971. Located at 614 Mountain Avenue, it is operated as a “living museum” and staffed by Miller-Cory House Museum volunteers. Both the Reeve House and the Miller-Cory House are a registered as a national and state historic sites.
In the event that you cannot attend in person, please take our virtual tour which gives you a glimpse of the historical treasures available at the Reeve History and Cultural Resource Center.
