New Jersey’s State House, first built in 1792 and expanded in every generation, is the heart of the state government and the second oldest state house in continuous use in the United States. A witness to two centuries of American history and a mosaic of architectural styles, it was the place where President-elect Abraham Lincoln, on his way to take office, addressed the Legislature and where Governor Woodrow Wilson began the political career that would take him to the White House. Within its walls are the Governor’s office and the chambers of the Senate and Assembly.
