The Village is a collection of Raritan Valley area historic buildings and includes original, reconstructed, and replicated 18th and 19th century vernacular architecture typical of farm and merchant communities of Central Jersey. It is home to a permanent exhibition about Raritan Landing, an 18th-century inland port once located just downstream on the river.

The village opened in 1978 and contains 16 historic buildings relocated to Johnson Park, representing architectural styles from throughout the Raritan Valley.
