The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society was formed in 1864, just three years after the founding of Vineland. After decades of expanding membership, the Society commissioned New Jersey’s first purpose-built historical society museum designed by Philadelphia architect George E. Savage. The two-story brick building with three-story stack room was completed in 1910. A two-story addition was constructed in 1931 along the north elevation and in 1933, a vault with brick veneer was added to the northwest corner. The final construction occurred in 1964, when a three-story addition was built along the west elevation.   

The Trust grant will help fund the creation of a Preservation Plan to guide future work at the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society Building.
