#Shippen270

Shippen Manor's 270th celebration is scheduled on our season's opening day, Sunday, May 5 (11am to 4pm).

You are all invited to our celebration! This is a family-friendly event with lots to do and see.

Although there is no admission fee at Shippen, the Friends of Shippen do accept donations and all monies are used for the building.

For this event, our back parking & driveways are closed to vehicle traffic. We have a small Belvidere Ave. parking lot for folks who have a blue/white handicap tag/plate that is closer to the boardwalk that leads to the main floor of the museum (tours)-- space is limited. For those who are physically able, please park in town and walk over.

There is a parking map at Warren200.com (calendar) for our visitors.

Can't wait to celebrate with you!
