Indigenous Architecture in New Jersey

Indigenous Architecture in New Jersey has been discovered through archeological exploration to cover New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York State, northern Delaware, and a small part of southwestern Connecticut, all known as Lenapehoking, by the Delaware-Lenape indigenous people who developed these communities. 

Exhibits displaying architecture and artifacts and depicting the Delaware-Lenape lifestyle can be found at The Paterson Museum and Waterloo Village
