Join the NJ Urban Sketchers at the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms!
We will be participating in their Maker Day Open House.
The event runs from noon to 4pm and we will be on-site sketching from 11:30 am to at least 2:30 pm.
Built by Gustav Stickley between 1908 and 1917 as the most complete expression of his “Craftsman” style, the campus of Craftsman Farms provides an unmatched opportunity to experience Stickley’s ideas about the impact of architecture, design, and landscape on a meaningful life. The museum is situated on the remaining thirty acres of Craftsman Farms’ original 650-acre campus. Its original buildings include the Log House, which was the Stickley family home, and three cottages. The original farm buildings include the horse barn, dairy house, and the remains of the cow barn.
There will also be free museum admission and craft vendors participating in the event. Guests are invited to enjoy free admission to the historic Log House and learn about the history of the museum and its collections items. You can also tour the North Cottage on the property, which features the museum’s collection of rare green ash furniture.
