Ukrainian History and Education Center

The Ukrainian History and Education Center is located on the campus of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA Metropolia Center at 135 Davidson Avenue in Somerset, New Jersey 08873. It is easily accessible from the New York and Philadelphia metro areas by car or mass transit. Please note that Google Maps incorrectly labels the entrance as “Executive Drive”. The entrance road is unnamed. Executive Drive is the next street at the traffic light, but there is no access to the UHEC from the “real” Executive Drive.

Most UHEC programming takes place in either the Library/Library Gallery or in the Ukrainian Cultural Center.

The Cultural Center is the large building with the large parking lot on your left as you enter from Davidson Avenue. There is a handicapped entranced at the rear of the building that is open by arrangement.

The Library and Library Gallery are more confusing: they are located through the door labeled as “Entrance” (in big red letters) on the map below. After you make the turn onto the campus from Davidson Avenue, proceed past the large parking lot and the Cultural Center, and turn into the small parking lot on the right just beyond all of the buildings. The main building entrance is at the far end of that small parking lot. There is a ground-level handicapped entrance that can be accessed by arrangement – please contact us.

Currently running exhibitions at the Library Gallery are generally open 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, with limited special weekend hours and groups by appointment. Please see the exhibition page for details.

The UHEC Archives are open to the public by appointment. Please contact archives@UkrHEC.org to discuss your research needs and to make arrangements.

The new museum building remains under construction and is not open to the public.
