Fort Lee Museum, Historical museum in Fort Lee, United States.

The Fort Lee Museum occupies a 1922 bluestone building that once served as the residence of Judge Moore. The galleries contain exhibits about local history, the area's film-making past, and how the community grew over time.

Monument Park, where the museum stands, was part of the original Fort Constitution held by the Continental Army under General George Washington, and over 2,600 troops were stationed in and around the area. The Judge Moore House was built in 1922 of bluestone quarried from the Hudson Palisades, was slated for demolition in 1989, and was saved when the borough bought it after community intervention. The museum opened in April 1999 under the Fort Lee Historical Society and closed during the 2020-2022 pandemic.

The museum's collections cover America's first motion picture industry, which was based in Fort Lee, along with the Battle of Fort Lee, the George Washington Bridge and Palisades Amusement Park. The Hudson Shakespeare Company has staged a Shakespeare in the Park festival beside the museum since 2007, run with the Fort Lee Film Commission.

The museum stands on Palisade Avenue inside Monument Park, whose grounds were reconstructed in 2004 for the Fort Lee Centennial. The museum closed during the 2020-2022 Covid pandemic and has not reopened, so check its status before planning a visit. The Hudson Shakespeare Company has staged a Shakespeare in the Park festival beside the museum since 2007.

A time capsule placed at the foot of the Monument Park monument in 2004, during the park's reconstruction for the Fort Lee Centennial, is scheduled to be opened at the Bicentennial Celebration in 2104.
