Museum

Fort Lee has a surprisingly storied history — it was the birthplace of the American film industry and a key Revolutionary War site. This museum brings it all together with archives from the Riviera Nightclub, Fort Lee High School, and the American Revolution. Learn why Washington chose these Palisade cliffs and how silent-film studios once lined these very streets.
