The Great Hall
Upon entering the museum, visitors step into the Great Hall or meeting room that is used today by guest speakers. The Great Hall showcases documents and objects related to Charles K. Landis, Vineland’s founder, and the early years of settlement. This room also features a significant number of artifacts and documents related to the 1868 presidential election, when women in Vineland voted even though they were not legally allowed to cast ballots – an event that later sparked similar demonstrations in towns throughout the United States.
The Glass Room
Off the Great Hall is the Glass Room, set aside to recognize the glass manufacturing industry, which played an important role in Vineland's development. This room is dedicated to the different companies that produced glassware, including Durand, the Vineland Flint Glass Works, and the Kimble Glass Company. In the 1920s, Durand Art Glass was the last of the Art Nouveau-style glass produced in America and remains prized by collectors today.
The Andrews Room
The Andrews Room on the first floor displays furnishings, paintings, and ephemera from Andrews’ home. Frank Andrews is regarded as the foremost facilitator in the establishment of VHAS in the early 1900’s. The room also features the desk of Vineland newspaper editor, Uri Carruth, who competed with Landis in publishing and died as a result of that conflict with Landis.
The second floor galleries
The Landis Family Room, established in memory of the Landis family which includes personal possessions such as books, jewelry, glassware, and a “horn” chair covered in plush red velvet; individual rooms for books and artifacts related to area residents who served in the Civil War; the Native American artifacts; the Victorian-era Musical instruments; and the open gallery of unique artifacts from Vineland and the period of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
