Costumed docents will be available to give tours of the c. 1750 house, once owned by the Osborn family whose two sons fought in the American Revolution. The antique house is steeped in local history and has many stories to tell.

The museum will have on display, from their vast antique clothing collection, late 19th and early 20th century traveling clothes to accompany their “Coming to America and Scotch Plains” theme. There will also be games for kids to play and a fun craft!
