Cranford’s “America’s Treasure” will be open Saturday, October 20th from 10:00 am-5:00 pm and Sunday, October 21th from 12:00 noon-5:00 pm. The Historical Society will present a Civil War encampment with Civil War Re-enactors. Members from the 2nd Rhode Island Volunteers Company D will set up an encampment on the grounds.

Volunteer docents will be on hand to speak with visitors and provide a guided tour of the museum. The Crane-Phillips House Museum is available as our own local history museum through the hard work of volunteers and members of the Cranford Historical Society. It has received generous support from the Cranford Historical Society, Union County Freeholders, Cranford citizens and the Township of Cranford.
