Reviews of Roebling Museum
"We did not come to tour the actual museum, but instead for a touch-a-truck. The touch-a-truck was small but mighty, much like the museum. The event was well organized and well laid out. It was perfect for my kids aged 1 - 4. Everyone at the museum was kind, welcoming, and excited to entertain their visitors. I especially loved that they hosted a food drive along with the event. I plan to go back."
"I was procrastinating as hard as possible, as one does when they need to get work done and their wife is out of town. With no guard rails on wasting time I found myself here, at the Roebling museum. What caught my eye was block after block of uniform housing, opening up to a yard with a massive metal wheel. The wheel was the centerpiece of a collection of steel structures. Wheels are pretty cool, so I pulled over to find out what this wheel was about. I walked the yard where all this gargantuan factory equipment was strewn about, completely dwarfed by a forest of rusting metal - and I had to know more. Turns out this wasn’t an art thing but a museum. The museum, which was the former gatehouse to the massive factory, was a well-produced showcase of this company town I had never heard of until I drove upon it. You go through the exhibit and can see two things - the first was that Roebling (the one that built the mill and town) seemingly really cared about his employees. He wasn’t trying to build a utopia, he really seemed to want to give his people a good deal to get the best workforce. He paid his people fairly and with cash (not in company scrip), built them solid housing (especially when compared to the coal camps from my home state), and let them live their lives. The second thing is that the same care received by the employees was reciprocated to the company and Roebling. Reciprocated in the collective drive of its workers to propel the company and the country forward- a drive that is still felt, over a decade after the mill’s demolition. It was humbling to stand in the shadow of this town’s contribution to the country. This place is truly incredible, I wish I could have seen it in its prime. Highly recommend."
"It's a very interesting and educational place to learn about the development of the steel bridge structures that made railroad and highway infrastructure. Roebling made the Brooklyn Bridge and many other iconic structures. The steel cable of the Brooklyn Bridge was made here."
"We really enjoyed the car show and the museum, glad we made it. Got to hold a number 5 Alligator wrench, pretty heavy and made to last. I have a couple of Disston saws, this is sort of the same idea, company town."
