The Museums at Drakesville in Ledgewood, NJ, curated by the Roxbury Historic Trust, are dedicated to preserving the local heritage of the Township of Roxbury and educating the public about its history. The Trust has restored and preserved two National Register properties, the 1826 King Canal Store and the 1881 King Victorian Home, both of which are open for short tours on the second Sunday of each month.

These historic buildings provide visitors with a glimpse into the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, showcasing the development of New Jersey from the Lenape people through various industries and eras. The King Canal Store, with its thick stone walls and original stock items from the 1920s, and the adjacent King Victorian Home, featuring a dining room mural painted in 1936, offer a unique opportunity to experience the rich history of the region.
