Stickley Museum/Craftsman Farms Tour

Perfect day in that weather was sunny, not too hot. Only one person called and Cn'd last minute and one person was about 1/2 hr late (we waited 15 min  for him but went ahead with the tour and he caught up) Toured in side and out side of the Stickley Craftsman Farm. Pete was a perfect tour guide (may even join GO we  hope). He  knew every little detail about Stickley, the family, the furniture, the land, etc. a real super guide. After the tour most of us went to lunch at near by famous Morris Plains Arthur’s Pub. Great service, great food, super company with lots of great conversation. Once again, everyone enjoyed, got along very well, made new friends, etc. Everyone is looking forward to the next local event next weekend at the Delware River Picnic!

We will meet at 10:30AM at Craftsman Farms. I believe our group will be broken up into smaller group tours. Afterwards we can freely explore the property, then caravan over to a local restaurant for a group lunch.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TOURS are $10/person (bring cash to pay the day of the event). I have provided the museum with a deposit already, so please SIGN UP EARLY so we know how many guys are attending. Sign up must be done by Monday, July 11th, PLEASE! Each person at lunch is expected to pay for their own meal, drinks, 20% tip and tax PLEASE!

Craftsman Farms is the former country estate of noted turn-of-the-century designer Gustav Stickley, a major proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement in decorative arts, home building and furnishing styles.  Stickley combined the roles of designer and manufacturer, architect, publisher, philosopher, and social critic. He is best known today for his straightforward furniture, sometimes called “mission” or “Craftsman” furniture.
