The New Jersey Hall of Fame is an organization that honors individuals from the U.S. state of New Jersey who have made contributions to society and the world beyond.
The Hall of Fame is a designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, overseen by a board of trustees. It was statutorily authorized through Public Law 2005, Chapter 232.[1] This bi-partisan legislation was passed unanimously in the New Jersey Senate on May 13, 2005,[2] passed in the Assembly on June 30, 2005, and signed into law by the governor on September 22, 2005.[3]
In June 2013 it introduced a "mobile museum" designed by Michael Graves and Ralph Applebaum[4] which toured the state for more than 300,000 people over three years.[5][6][7] In 2017, it opened a satellite exhibition of five holograms, posters and a ″Wall of Fame″ at Newark Airport.[8] In September 2018 it was announced that the Hall of Fame would move to a permanent home at American Dream Meadowlands.[9]
