Get your tickets now and be there as we launch the year-long celebration of our Bicentennial!NOVEMBER GALA TO KICK OFF WARREN COUNTY'S BICENTENNIAL YEAR - TICKETS NOW ON SALE
Warren County will officially kick off its Bicentennial Year with a November 12 gala to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the legislation that created the County.
Tickets are now on sale for the celebration that starts at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12, at David's Country Inn. The gala will include a dinner buffet, cash bar and music, along with dancing, a demonstration of period dances, and a costume contests. Attendees are invited (but not required) to come in Regency/Federal Era attire in honor of the County’s earliest days.
“For three summers in a row, Warren County and the Bicentennial Cultural and Heritage Advisory Board have hosted concerts to raise awareness of the approaching anniversary of the County’s formation. Now it’s time to get the celebration started,” said Warren County Commissioner Lori Ciesla, liaison to the bicentennial committee. “This November 12 event will kick off our special bicentennial year in style,” Ciesla added, noting, “More events are planned throughout 2025 to celebrate our past 200 years and to look to our future.”
“The Bicentennial committee is so excited to be hosting the Gala at the beautiful David's Country Inn,” said Laurie Rapisardi, executive director of the Hackettstown Business Improvement District, who chairs the Bicentennial Cultural and Heritage Advisory Board. “The evening will bring you back in time as we celebrate our amazing Warren County’s 200th Anniversary with music, dancing, costumes and so much more! We hope to see you there!”
Tickets can be purchased online or by mail with information available at www.warren200.com. Through September 30, tickets are $25 per person, and $35 per person from October 1 until sales close on November 1. For more information, call 908-475-7750 x2.
Warren County was created by legislation passed on November 20, 1824 by the New Jersey Legislature, which carved off the southern portion of Sussex County into a new entity, named for Dr. Joseph Warren of Boston, one of the early advocates for independence from England. Commissioned as a General, Warren was killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775 and was a revered figure in the early days of the United States.
The initial legislature set the general boundaries for the new county, came into existence in 1825 with the exact delineation of the border and the election and seating of its first Board of Chosen Freeholders.
David’s Country Inn is the perfect spot to launch the yearlong bicentennial jubilee, as it dates back to the County’s earliest days. An elegantly restored Victorian mansion, it originated as a log structure built in 1787 and named The Warren House in honor of Dr. Warren. The existing frame structure was constructed in 1840 and served as an inn for decades. For the past 46 years, the Falzarano family has owned and operated David’s Country Inn as one of the area’s premiere wedding and event spaces.

#Updates from the Manor (September 2024)
Good morning neighbors, friends and community members.
Our #summerlawnconcerts2024 have come to a close for the season. Thank you to everyone for coming out this year. Our 2025 schedule will be posted by May 2025.
In the meantime, the museum is open 1st and 2nd Sundays until December. (Please see Warren200.com for more information regarding programming schedule, parking, accessibility, and more.)
The "Industries & Mining" displays will remain out on this coming Sunday (9/8). In addition, we have another installment of On the Daily titled, "Early American Childhood" (lower porch, 1-4pm). We are also happy to welcome back Scott Lance, who will be working along the lower drive (weather-permitting) and demonstrating 18th c. carpentry, which is aligned with our industrial & mining month!
Admission is free (we like free, right?). The Friends of Shippen does collect donations (not required, but appreciated) inside of the museum at the end of the tour.

Missing Andy. I haven't done a program there since, and I used to do one every year.
