The Cranford Historical Society’s Crane-Phillips House Museum will once again participate in Union County’s annual program, “Four Centuries in a Weekend”.
Cranford’s “America’s Treasure” will be open Saturday, October 15th from 10:00am - 5:00pm and Sunday, October 16th from 12:00pm - 5:00pm. The Historical Society will present a Civil War encampment with Civil War Re-enactors.

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.
