Monmouth Museum Presents the Holiday Exhibition Petopia! and the Winter Wonderland Model Trains Display from November 24 – January 5, 2020, all throughout the Holiday Season!
The bond between a pet and owner is something unique. Pet portraits attempt to capture that cherished bond. In this year’s Juried Holiday Art Exhibition, Petopia!, in the Main Gallery, will be filled with pet paw-traits of man’s best fur-ends as well as en-deering depictions of creatures big and small covered in fur, feathers and scales to celebrate the loving bond we have with our pets as well as the universal affection for the natural beauty and majestic power of all animals.
The Museum’s Holiday Model Trains Display features tiny people forever frozen in their everyday activities, creating a still universe brought to life by passing trains. There are buttons that can be pushed by young kids and the young at heart for an interactive activity, as doors open, and whistles blow. Come to explore the sights and sounds of train travel, step back and remember your childhood, and learn about railroading.

Thursday, February 27 – Mercer County              Princeton Preservation Group to Meet on February 27 about Papyrus     Ask anyone on the street in Princeton what the Princeton Preservation Group is and you are likely to get a raised eyebrow and a guess that they are people who want to preserve the town.  Actually, the Princeton Preservation Group (PPG) has been meeting several times per year since 1983 to hear lectures on a wide range of topics relating to the preservation of cultural artifacts, including books, manuscripts, artwork, furniture, photographs, tombstones, Lucy the Elephant, quilts, costumes, videotapes, and buildings, just to name a few.       The “Princeton” in PPG’s name derives from its founder, the late Susan Swartzburg, Preservation Librarian at Alexander Library at Rutgers. Swartzburg, a Princeton resident, taught a class in the Rutgers graduate librar...

Toothbrushes were somewhat new, but rare for most people to use or even own. Germs were an unknown entity.      On Sunday, June 9 at Rockingham, Marjory Wienkop will be in residence in the Dutch barn with a display of colonial-era surgeon-dentist instruments, related objects and much information on the real story of who took...
