Two unique events are coming up at the Roebling Museum, 100 Second Avenue, Roebling.

On Friday August 2, at 7 p.m., the first historic cemetery tour gets underway. Stories of both remarkable and everyday people who lived in the company town and worked at the mill will be highlighted. Attendees are asked to meet at Holy Assumption Cemetery. Tickets are $20.

If you are curious about the living conditions for laborers in a historic company town, take the behind-the-scenes tour “Step Inside a Roebling Rowhouse: Building a House Museum” on Saturdays in August and September from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Visitors can view newly donated artifacts, and see what it takes to transform a house into a museum. Six dates are available. Tickets are $20, $5 for members.

Roebling Museum tells the story of the origins and growth of Roebling, a New Jersey company town built by John A. Roebling’s Sons Company. Some of the most important technological achievements of the industrial age such as big bridges, telegraphs and telephones, electrification, deep mines, big ships, elevators, and airplanes, as well as everyday objects, were built in Roebling. Ideas and diverse cultures were exchanged through work and the interactions in these communities, which changed the cultural and industrial landscape of New Jersey.
