Sun., Nov 9 (1-4) Veterans' Day
This Sunday, we are honoring the veterans who lived at Shippen and Oxford from the era of the Revolution through the world wars. There will be special exhibits and displays for our visitors.
This is our last regular tour for the season.

The Victorian Candlelight Christmas tours are Sun., Dec 7 and 14.
We are also accepting reservations for our Victorian Candlelight Christmas tours. These spots fill quickly so don't wait!
The special Victorian-themed holiday tours where the docents will share with our visitors the influences that led to Victorian Christmas traditions, some of which we celebrate today, are at 11am, 12 and 1pm.
For the reservation-only tours, we will also have a special musical performer, Russ Rentler, who will enchant our visitors with his melodious holiday stylings on his mandolin.
We are decking the halls...
and will have a holly, jolly good time!
To make a reservation, please email Gina (grosseland@co.warren.nj.us) and let her know the time, date, and the number in your party (adults, kids).
We have assistive listening devices available and our docents will have personal amplification devices. The boardwalk is wheelchair accessible and all visitors will enter through the ADA accessible door at the end of the boardwalk. Our doorways are also wheelchair friendly.
For visitors who would prefer to just walk-through and see the beautifully decorated colonial and Victorian-themed rooms and visit with our Victorian Santa, stop by from 2-4pm.
Free admission.
Donations accepted by the Friends of Shippen.
Family-friendly.
If cancelled due to inclement weather, we will make an announcement on Facebook that morning.
There will be no "snow days" as the museum closes for the season after our last museum day on Sun., Dec. 14.

Well, our connectivity is poor. Apologies. I tried to do a live, but the Internet is being difficult.
We are open until 4.

8 Belvidere Ave
Oxford
Parking is very limited on site. Yesterday, we installed blue and white striped parking stops for two vehicles with h/c plates and placards closest to the boardwalk. Cones are aisles for those drivers to have the ability to exit their vehicles.
Others can park on Washington Ave past the Colonial United Methodist Church - Oxford or park in the Kent Street parking by Central School and walk over.
Check our FB page for more information.
