Travel Everywhere! discusses the Must-See Museums in Morris County, NJ, including the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms:

Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms is the only house Gustav Stickley, the foremost spokesman for the American Arts and Crafts Movement, designed and built for himself. Stickley, known for his Mission furniture, revolutionized American decorative arts.

The log house, built in 1911, is one of the most significant landmarks of the American Arts and Crafts movement, and the site, which consists of 30 acres of the original 650-acre tract, has been designated a National Historic Landmark. The focal point of Stickley’s “Garden of Eden” was a large log house constructed of round, hewn chestnut logs that were cut from the property’s woods and local stone also found on the property.
