The Danish Home is a Museum, Cultural Center, and event space with a large property and historic buildings located in Edison, New Jersey. The Danish Home was originally built as a communal home for the aged but is now a thriving institution and hidden gem. The buildings and picnic grove are sheltered in a bower of trees in a setting out of another age. At the same time it
is centrally located and easily accessible: it is less than an hour from NYC, directly off of Rt. 287.
The Danish Home is a cultural institution that hosts three lodges of the Danish Brotherhood and Danish Sisterhood in America. These fraternal organizations meet regularly and are open to membership by interested persons.
The Danish Archive Northeast (D.A.N.E.) is also headquartered at the Danish Home. It is a genealogical and archival non-profit that preserves documents, connects families with their histories, and helps to maintain the museum at the Danish Home. Interested in museums, genealogy, or archiving?
There are regular events at the Danish Home that are open to the public and offer a variety of activities, food, and drinks. There’s always something to do at the Danish Home with numerous club activities and events for the museum, picnics and more. You can contact us for more information or
