The collections mission is to preserve, exhibit and enhance the various collections begun by W. Parsons Todd. Macculloch Hall’s collection is comprised of primarily American and English 18th and 19th century decorative arts including period furniture, textiles (especially oriental carpets,) ceramics, silver, and glass. Fine art includes, 18th and 19th century works on paper, oil paintings, miniature portraits, Thomas Nast and archival documents which cover 150 years of the Macculloch-Miller family role in local, New Jersey and national civics.
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum contributes to the community by preserving and interpreting the collection that W. Parsons Todd established. The Museum’s collection exists for exhibition and education. As stewards of this collection, the Museum maintains a well-defined acquisition and deaccession policy that encompasses and supports our Mission Statement and guides us in strengthening the existing collection.
