250 YEARS OF FARMSTEADING IN HUNTERDON COUNTY.
Join us for a private tour of the Holcombe Jimison Farmstead Museum which is housed in the restored three story bank barn. Livestock were kept on the lower level, crops above. Today, some of the exhibits arranged in the barn cover the tools and equipment used by the farmer to raise and harvest the crops that provided fodder for livestock and commodities to sell. Other displays cover the domestic chores of the farmer's wife in the preparation and preservation of food and the making of clothing. Early examples of now common implements and appliances give you a sense of passing time.
2 to 5pm
Holcombe Jimison Farmstead Museum, 1605 Daniel Bray Highway, Lambertville.

LACEMAKING DEMONSTRATION
With roots dating as far back as the late 15th century, the technique of taking a bunch of strings, whether they are linen, silk, spun gold and silver, or cotton, and turning them into exquisite pieces of handmade lace is becoming a lost art form. There are artisans today who are helping to keep this time consuming and beautiful art form alive. On Sunday, October 4, 2015 Mary Roth-Davies from the Cranberry Lacers Guild of Franklin Township will demonstrate the craft between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. at the Readington Museums. Mary says about the craft, “Bobbin lacemaking is considered a slow art but one that I find rewarding and challenging. “ The program is located at the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead. The program is family friendly and free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Groups of six or more please call 908-236-2327 for a reservation.

CLAWSON HOUSE: OPEN HOUSE!
The Historical Society is sponsoring a two day Open House at the Historic Clawson House. The Clawson House was built circa 1800 (at least) and at one time was the architectural center piece of Ringoes. Acquired by the Township in the year 2000 – when the Township purchased the Clawson Farm for a park – it has sat boarded up ever since. With grants from the County and funding provided by the Township, work has begun to restore the property. Full restoration is expected to take several years and this will be the first opportunity for the public to see the house in its “rough” state. Enjoy the fall weather and spend a few minutes walking back into history.
