New Jersey Naval Museum (Hackensack, New Jersey)

 military museum  Add category

Operated since 1973 by the Submarine Memorial Association, the New Jersey Naval Museum is a non-profit organization which offers visitors the opportunity to view rare historic equipment and artifacts, photographs and other memorabilia as a tribute to the Garden State’s long and distinguished Naval heritage.

Through its indoor and outdoor exhibits and museum ship USS Ling (SS-297), the museum offers an educational facility for many schools, Scout troops and other organizations as well as a memorial to the 3,505 US Navy Submariners who lost their lives during the Second World War.

Despite operating from its River Street for the better part of thirty years, the New Jersey Naval Museum was advised in 2007 that property owner North Jersey Media Group wanted the museum to leave and free up the land for redevelopment. While the museum is presently seeking new sites should they be evicted, they have also started a petition to allow the facility and its U.S. National Register of Historic Places-registered Submarine to remain onsite.

In 2016 the museum was facing eviction and the US Navy repossessed about 100 of the artifacts on site due to a lack of proper care and preservation.
