Very interesting, I really enjoyed it

Medium sized parking lot. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Many displays of yesteryear. For example: A large assortment of Colt guns, trains, airplane engines, and early 20th century textile machinery....

A surprisingly cute and well put together local museum. I really enjoyed the Native American and textiles displays. While it’s a small museum, there’s a lot of neat things to check out, from machinery to gemstones, there’s something for everyone. They could use some ac, but it’s a small enough museum that it’s bearable.

Candice Byrne

Wow! After visiting the Great Falls, my triplets, my mom, and I ventured down the street to this museum. Chock full of history and beautiful items. And free!!! The doors on Spruce St were open so we entered and the first thing we see is a huge airplane propeller. Everything is very well organized and labeled.

Marie Soursop

Small but nicely curated museum. Made me look at Paterson, NJ differently. More positive. Hop over to the falls afterward too

Ed Ruffilli

Frank Catalano

Great little museum had some interesting artifacts and great people. I will recommend it.

Arya Handoko

The museum is free, it is very local oriented which is nice to tell the history of the city of Paterson, NJ. Unfortunately they don't have an central AC, so if you were there during summer it is very hot inside. But in general the museum is awesome

John Holland's first functional submarine ... Curtis-Wright (like Wilbur & Orville) and the birth of aviation ... Hamilton! ... the indigenous peoples ... Hinchcliffe Stadium ... Abbot & Paterson's own Lou Costello ... punch card textile manufacture that foreshadows the computer age ... and more. Much, much more.

Fidel Castro

Amazing place to visit and learn about the rich history of Patterson.

(Translated by Google) Nice, a small museum that reflects the history of the place are cool exhibits. Not to travel especially, only if you go to see the falls should enter (Original) נחמד, מוזיאון קטן שמשקף את ההיסטוריה של המקום מוצגים מגניבים. לא לנסוע במיוחד, רק אם נוסעים לראות את המפלים כדאי להיכנס

Eric Orkin

This is definitely one of the best museums around. Surprising that it's free!

Sue Mcghee

Tea party for little girls. Beautiful affair. Little hot, no AC.

Denise Taylor

Great local museum with plenty of interesting exhibits. Located in the historic Roger's Locomotive Works there are exhibits covering the city of Paterson and its rise as the first United States city of the Industrial Revolution. They outline the growth from its role in the Revolutionary War and its becoming a powerhouse in the Civil War era.

MJ Museum

I love visiting museums and Patterson Museum was a must see for me!! I had a really nice walk through was on another mission will pass through soon again!

Samuel Flores

Interesante la forma en que se puede conocer los orígenes y desarrollo de la ciudad de Paterson.

Sandy Wolf

Interesting place to visit. The textile exhibit focuses on the silk and other textile manufacturers in the region. Enjoyed the complexity of the exhibit. You could image yourself on the floor of the mills interacting with the machines and textiles.

Abdus Subhan

This was a much more interesting experience than I was expecting. Paterson has a very interesting history and it is well documented here. There is something for everyone, and the exhibits are organized well with good signage. Highly recommend if you interested about knowing history of Paterson you have to go and visit this place

Diego Castillo

Un museo muy interesante para concerlo

John Mackey

Engine 299 is here, but needs care. The museum also has Rogers Railroad information inside with the history of early Paterson. If your interested in railroading, you visit this place. This place also has information on Alexander Hamilton and his accomplishments. Will be visiting it again in the future.

Syed Kutub Uddin Ahmed

Lot's of history to learn, especially kids of 5 years of age and above will enjoy the most.

Muriel Rand

Interesting artifacts. A bit confusing the way things are organized, but there are a few treasures to be found here. Right next to the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park.

Armindo Brás

Md Reza

Awesome museum... ample free parking, free entrance , free snacks!!! Best place to visit in Paterson

Kathryn Hashem

A lot of history randomly packed into a very cool industrial building. Worth a stop, especially for the trains out front and the submarines inside. The restrooms were appalling.

Nathaniel Yankelev

It's free but it isn't very big. Worth checking out to learn about famous people associated with the area.

Ajim Uddin

Lovely museum with lots of history from the great silk city paterson. This museum has a couple of mini exhibits that are worth seeing they also have a submarine and a plane engine which i think is super cool best of all the entry to the museum is total free they just ask for a donation. Also this museum is two streets away from the paterson great falls.

Kelvin Nuñez

A walk on the past...

NatiBloom Musings

I didn't make the tour so had to wander around without guidance. I think the display could've been organised chronologically to make it easier for wanderers to understand the significance of the different eras.

LeBron Lebron

Very interesting

Vladyslav Ovcharenko

Lots of cool looking ancient and literally ancient things. You will spend around 1 - 1.5 hrs there. Fun for kids, considering steam engine train, pretty educational for adults.

Calvin Batt

Suraj Dalsania

Perfect place to know the history, but limited amenities, no air conditioning.

Ahmed Tufael

It was great. Great customer service!!

steve cannon

Will give it 4 or 5 stars on the October 9 th after Bud Abbott's Birthday celebration, but only if Lou Costello's home town Paterson New Jersey has him prominently represented.

wlquin Alvarez

Me encanto su historia,

Fabian Romero

Good place a lot of history in there

Lara Cely

This place is a little gem. It isn't large, but it is packed with interesting historical exhibits and items showcasing the fascinating back story on Paterson. There is a little something for most nerds - trains, industry, military, guns, vintage medicine, Founding Fathers, etc. There are 2 locomotives parked outside! It is located one block from the Great Falls park, so this could be a nice afternoon break from walking around the falls. There was no air conditioning, though, so it was a little warm inside. Plus side, no crowds. It was free to enter, suggested donation $2 per adult.

Robb Kidd

The receptionist was awesome. (Glenn) Museum gives a little snapshot of the rise of the city of Paterson, without being too overwhelming. Absent is the labor history and some other cultural histories though.

Cesar Alvaro

(Translated by Google) It was a beautiful experience, you can appreciate the history of Paterson and how the locomotive worked. The production of silk thread and fabrics. (Original) Fue una bonita experiencia, se puede apreciar la historia de Paterson y como funcionaba la locomotiva. La producción de hilo y telas de seda.

Hidden treasure, hope the town has more money to restore more history

Royce Raju Beena

Fascinating for the history buffs

Edwina Macdonald

Amazing exibit

Michael Vaccari

A fun history lesson.

Chris Rodriguez

Donation based entrance fee. Small but very informative and interesting history of Paterson. Inside of a famous former steam locomotive plant. Steam engine 226 outside of the museum has such rich, interesting history. Find out inside the museum.

Isanuk Barry

nice little museum that is heavy on artifacts from its industrial days.Also the sub holland and railroad items.However for a history museum it is curious that it leaves out the labor strife,race riots,hurricane carter ,etc. They have costello but not allen ginsburg. .Seems to be a bit of selective memory.

Estuardo Murrugarra

The museum is wonderful!

Jessica Rojas

Wonderful time today at the museum... the Natural Rock are truly amazing.

Catherine Hughes

Excellent displays of the history of Paterson and Passaic county

James Carroll

One floor with great exhibits. It give an outstanding overall history of the community and its contributions to society and especially americas development in the manufacturing and economic world. It’s free and worth the time to see.

Jesus Tamayo

Is a beautifull please to know the history of Paterson NJ

Chirag Rana

The museum is vast with a ton of exhibits. Their displays cover everything from geology to anthropology.

Janice Morgan

Having been raised in New Jersey, my husband and I decided to go here and see what could possibly be here. To our surprise this place was a delight and it should be a great place to take the kids to learn a little bit about the area.

Amil R. Lima

Nice place to walk around

Ira

It's a nice little Museum I learned things about Paterson that I didn't know. There is a suggested $2 donation but museum is free and so is the parking, how can you go wrong? I think it's a good place to bring children and they would be reasonably interested. It took me less than an hour to go through all the exhibits so the kids shouldn't get bored.

DJ H

Nice local museum in Paterson by the Paterson Falls. It is mainly about the industrial history of Paterson. The best part is that it's free.

Michał Chowaniec

Nice and free museum

Valerie Vaughn

The Paterson Museum is unique with various exhibts spanning from the native american era all the way throughout to modern times. The museum has amazing arts of work and its historical contents of places that are still standing help to visualize how Paterson was back then.
