The Meadowlands Museum, housed in one of the area's oldest homes, is a local history museum full of information about the region’s recent past. Upstairs the walls have been painted with displays about local minerals and natural history. Coincidentally, this house was once the home of Charles Smithson, an ornamental concrete sculptor and plasterer who worked on the subway stations of New York City, and who was the grandfather of the famous locally-born artist Robert Smithson.
