Discover Gustav Stickley’s New Jersey and be a part of the museum’s 35th Anniversary! Celebrate our Grand Re-opening during a special Farms Afield right here at home in New Jersey!
With planning overseen by Executive Director Vonda Givens and Director of Collections and Preservation Jonathan Clancy, Stickley Museum Members (at our Friend level and above) can expect a memorable experience among friends, old and new, right here in the Garden State. Read on for full details…
Our VIP guests will be treated to a full day at Craftsman Farms.
Experience our newly opened Annex Visitor Pavilion and enjoy a tour with senior staff members, Jonathan Clancy and Vonda Givens. See the Log House, with its newly restored kitchen and interpreted porch, and the North Cottage, with its rare collection of green ash furniture. Enjoy a visit to the Stickley Museum library and have lunch in the Education Center. Conclude your day with time to shop, using a VIP discount, at The Craftsman Shop and explore the 30 acres of grounds at Craftsman Farms.
Enjoy exclusive visits to three private Arts and Crafts homes.
See an exquisite private collection of American Art Pottery and rare Arts and Crafts furnishings and metals. Visit the Parker House, one of Stickley’s Craftsman Architects’ most striking designs, with its captivating collections, furnishings, and design details. Tour the only private home on the Craftsman Farms campus. Beautiful inside and out, it has been lovingly furnished and preserved by our hosts, who have invited us to a special cocktail party to end our day.
Experience three nights at the charming, historic Lambertville House.
Functioning as a hotel since 1812, the Lambertville House is ideally situated in picturesque Lambertville, which is located on the Delaware River. Home to abundant cafes, restaurants, shops, and galleries, it is also home to Rago Auction Center, which will host a special experience for our group.
Take in a timeless New Jersey tradition—breakfast at a New Jersey diner (ready to try Taylor ham?)—in the diner capital of the world, and in the evenings, explore the delightful city of Lambertville and its foodie-approved dining options.
