Heritage & History

Preserving our county’s heritage and making history come alive through our parks system is a key mission of the Board of Commissioners. Programs offered  at Historic Smithville Park and the Lyceum of History and Natural Sciences will provide visitors with a window into the County’s past, and the Historic Prison Museum, a National Historic Landmark, tells an intriguing story of early American architecture and prison life. 

Arts & Culture

Visual arts and music are major contributors to a full and enjoyable life.  Art galleries located in Smithville Park in Eastampton, and the Warden’s House in Mount Holly, present visual arts throughout the year.  The teaching kitchen at the Agricultural Center in Moorestown provides opportunities to learn and experience culinary arts with cooking classes held in person and virtually, with an emphasis on healthy living and its link with the county’s agricultural community.  Keep your eyes on the Programs and Event's page for invitations to attend scheduled and pop-up concerts in the parks during spring, summer and fall and other cultural and educational programs throughout the year.   

No matter what activities you prefer, outdoor or indoor, there’s something for you to enjoy in the Burlington County Parks!
