Four Centuries in a Weekend
Crane-Phillips House Museum in Cranford
The Cranford Historical Society will once again participate in Union County’s annual program, “Four Centuries in a Weekend”. The Crane-Phillips House Museum will be open Saturday, October 21st from 12:00-5:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 22nd from 12:00-5:00 p.m.
This year’s theme is “Celebrating our First Responders,” as our own First Aid Squad celebrates its 70th anniversary. We will have displays of the history of the Cranford First Aid Squad and an ambulance outside for visitors to see. Also, Trustees and Volunteers will be on hand to give a tour of each room in this unique living museum.
Various materials about the weekend-long self-guided tour are available from the Office of Union County Cultural and Heritage Affairs, materials will also be at many of the sites. A booklet features photos and information about each site with a map showing the location.
The Crane-Phillips House Museum is available as our own local history museum through the hard work of volunteers and members of the Cranford Historical Society.
The Museum is located at 124 North Union Avenue in Cranford and is open the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month from September thru May from 2:00-4:00 p.m., or by appointment.
Admission is free. Founded in 1927, the Cranford Historical Society’s mission is to preserve and perpetuate the history of Cranford. To see the rest of our schedule, please visit our website at cranfordhistoricalsociety.com.
