History spotlight

Johnson & Johnson’s New Jersey legacy on display

Johnson & Johnson’s New Jersey legacy is on display at “Our Story at the Powerhouse”, an interactive museum experience that features digital exhibits and a curated collection of historical artifacts, products, stories, and innovations from the company’s earliest days. Housed within the company’s original electrical powerhouse built in 1907 — the oldest and last remaining building from J&J’s global headquarters campus in New Brunswick — the modern corporate museum serves as a reminder of all the life-changing inventions Johnson & Johnson has created over the last 140 years.
