Poricy Park, Nature museum in Middletown Township, United States.
Poricy Park encompasses 250 acres of natural land with woodlands, wetlands, and fields that support diverse wildlife species in Monmouth County.
The park originated in 1969 when residents opposed a sewer project near Poricy Brook, leading to the creation of a nature preserve between 1970 and 1973.
The Murray Farmhouse and Barn, designated as a New Jersey Historic Site, presents educational exhibits about regional agricultural practices and local heritage.
Visitors can rent screens and trowels at the Nature Center to search for fossils in the streambed, following conservation guidelines to prevent erosion.
The park contains Cretaceous period fossil beds along Poricy Brook, featuring 72-million-year-old marine specimens from ancient offshore shelves.
