The Historic Preservation Commission was created to foster and enhance civic beauty and neighborhood pride, in addition to the following:

• Discourage the unnecessary demolition of historic resources.

• Prepare a survey of historic sites in the municipality.

• Make recommendations to the Planning Board on the historic preservation and plan elements of the Master Plan.

• Advise the Planning Board on the inclusion of historic sites within the capital improvement program and to promote and protect the cultural, social, economic and architectural heritage of the Township.

• Maintain and develop an appropriate and harmonious setting for historic buildings, sites, objects or districts in the Township.

• Implement other advisory, educational and informational functions as will foster historic preservation in the municipality.

• Tours - On the first Sunday of each month, between May and October, we hold an open house at Dey Farm from 1- 4 p.m. Also, events are advertised on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Meetings: Second Monday of each month at 7:00pm in the Lower Level Conference Room of the Municipal Building with the exception of the June meeting taking place at the Dey Farm Historic Site located at 401 Federal Road, Monroe Township. There will be no meetings in February, October or December.

Donations: Persons interested in donating old photos and/or artifacts of interest to the Township can contact the Historic Preservation Commission.
