Inspired by the time-honored tradition of annual harvest celebrations, the museum’s biggest annual fundraiser has been newly christened the Harvest Party. Each year, fall marks the perfect time to take stock of your work, reap the rewards, and celebrate the harvest!
That’s what we’ll do at this year’s Harvest Party, and we have a lot to celebrate, from the full re-opening of the museum with a transformed Craftsman Farms campus— to the 35th Anniversary of The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms!
On Saturday, October 5, at 6:00 p.m., we invite you to join us for an evening under the stars at the Raritan Inn, an elegant and lovingly-restored Victorian home (pictured above) along the Raritan River in picturesque Califon, New Jersey. We’ll gather with friends, old and new, in the Inn’s rustic and beautifully-preserved 1850s barn (at left).
Whether you are attending or celebrating from afar, you can help us get the party started with a sponsorship (below)!
The Harvest Party will include silent and live auctions, featuring special guest auctioneer and longtime friend of the museum, David Rago of Rago/Toomey/Wright, and it will culminate with the evening’s pinnacle event, the Reverse Auction. Our menu will feature a delicious and satisfying selection of small plates, highlighting seasonally available and locally-grown ingredients from nearby farms in the Garden State.
