July is the final month of a special historical exhibit at the Cranbury Museum.
Cranbury Proud-Path to Preservation is the story of the town's six-decade dedication to protecting, retaining, and rebuilding historic buildings and sites.
The township's community leaders, residents, and friends have worked together to combat threats of building demolitions, a planned highway, and other area progress to save the historic appeal of Cranbury, which welcomed its first settlers over 325 years ago.
Visitors to the museum exhibit will see the letters, news, announcements, and other historical documents that detail the commitment to protecting the town's past. Photos and other artifacts add to the tale of successful preservation.
The Cranbury Museum is itself located in a heritage home that was purchased and has been maintained for over 50 years by volunteers who belong to the Cranbury Historical and Preservation Society (CHPS). The organization supports and encourages historic preservation through education, fundraising, research, restoration, and outreach. Their work helped the township secure its name on the National Register of Historic Places.
CHPS also operates a gift shop at another of its heritage homes where Cranbury-themed and printed items are for sale, including stoneware, ornaments, and tote Bags. Area shops that provide printing services are often used to design such types of merchandise.
The preservation exhibit can be seen on Sundays in July from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the museum, which is at 4 Park Pl East.
