Millwheels Rolling Into Millburn Sunday

MILLBURN, NJ - Millburn Township’s CEDA—Cultural Engagement Diversity and Arts Committee is offering an inclusive community engagement art project celebrating the mill town past of the community.

“Millwheels Rolling into Millburn” will provide interested groups and organizations with the opportunity to participate in a unique project utilizing art to express culturally diverse community by transforming a 35 inch wooden millwheel into a work of art.

Millburn began as a colonial settlement with agricultural origins, followed by a 19th century mill factory economy and eventually became a beautiful residential community. There are many examples of this history still present in the township, the Parsil House, the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum and the Paper Mill Playhouse, officials said.

There will be an active painting demonstration by artist Dan Fenelon, an opportunity to learn more about the community art project and to view a community millwheel on display. Hands-on craft participation will be available for all ages. Refreshments will be served.

All township groups are encouraged to attend and participate in the kick-off event of Millburn’s first Community Public Art Project in Taylor Park. The final event and presentation will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7 with a rain date Sunday, Sept. 8.
